Delivery service promising food and beer in 10 minutes wants to launch in Merseyside

An "ultra-fast" delivery service could soon be coming to Merseyside.

Getir promises to deliver everything from "iceberg lettuce to ice cold beer" in just ten minutes.

The Turkish-based service is rapidly becoming a big competitor to the already established food delivery brands - and has plans to open a huge warehouse in Aintree.

According to documents on Sefton Council's website, Getir wants to take over a unit at Wakefield Business Park on Wakefield Road.

The service works with their couriers delivering from "dark stores".

The only way you can buy is for delivery and you have to order via their app.

Pickers at these dark stores (distribution centres) prepare your order and a courier collects it for delivery.

All of Getir’s vehicles are electric, reports UK Tech News, meaning customers and their neighbours will be spared any noise or air pollution.

Currently Getir operates in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Cardiff - though the company is huge in Turkey, and also has services in Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin.

Earlier this year, the company revealed plans to launch in 15 UK cities by the end of 2021.

The licence application suggests the site would operate on a 24-hour basis.

The proposal will be decided upon by Sefton Council's Licensing Committee in the near future.

Anyone wishing to make a comment on the plans can do so by contacting the council directly.
