Aldi is expanding its click and collect services in Consett after launching a trial at its Front Street store.
Customers are able to order from a full range of groceries online at groceries.aldi.co.uk then collect them in pre-booked one hour collection slots from the store.
On arrival at dedicated click and collect points in the store car park, customers can have their shopping brought to their cars by Aldi colleagues contact-free, in line with social distancing rules.
Customers can also choose to have their shopping loaded into their boot by an Aldi colleague, so they can collect their shopping without ever having to leave their car.
More than 200 stores across the UK are now trialling the supermarket’s Click and Collect service.
Giles Hurley, chief executive officer at Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “Aldi’s quality products and unbeatable prices have never been so in demand.
“Extending this trial is about providing thousands more of our existing customers with another convenient way to shop with us, while also making Aldi accessible for many others who may not have shopped with us before.”
As well as click and collect, Aldi is also trialling a rapid delivery service in partnership with Deliveroo and has recently extended the trial to almost 130 stores across the UK.
Customers living near selected stores can order from a range of around 400 Aldi products and have them delivered to their doorstep in as little as 20 minutes.
