For the first time ever, today Aldi is trialling an on-demand home delivery service that aims to deliver to shoppers' houses in 30 minutes. In a bid to help shoppers get essentials to their homes without having to venture outside, the supermarket giant has partnered with Deliveroo.
Shoppers will eventually be able to choose from a whopping 150 products on the delivery app, which will then be delivered by a Deliveroo rider. Initially, Aldi will offer a select number of essential items such as bread, milk and eggs, before expanding the range on offer.
Aldi is currently trailing its new service at the Daleside Road store in Nottingham,and plans to extend the trial to a further seven stores across the East Midlands in June.
Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer, Aldi UK & Ireland, said: "We hope the new trial with Deliveroo will provide more customers with access to great quality, affordable food at Aldi.
"This is a new and exciting venture for Aldi and we will be constantly reviewing how we can best serve our customers and continue to provide them with the high quality products they are used to in store."
Ajay Lakhwani, Vice President of New Business, Deliveroo said: "At Deliveroo, we are doing everything we can to make sure that people get the food they need and want during this unprecedented time. We are pleased to partner with Aldi and deliver even more choice to our customers as they continue to keep safe at home."
