Southern Co-op partners with Deliveroo in Sussex
Shoppers in Sussex can now have Southern Co-op products delivered to their door as part of a new partnership with Deliveroo.
Customers within a 2km radius of the participating stores in Sussex, including Eastbourne, Chichester and Horsham, will be able to choose from up to 6,500 Southern Co-op product lines via the Deliveroo app.
This will include everyday essentials and products, such as soft drinks and ice cream, as well as specially selected locally sourced brands unique to the Sussex stores.
Once customers place an order through the Deliveroo app, products are picked and packed by Southern Co-op colleagues before being delivered by Deliveroo’s network of riders.
Simon Eastwood, Chief Operating Officer at Southern Co-op, said: “We pride ourselves on listening to our members and customers in the local communities we serve, and this is our next step in giving them more, direct to their door.
“From household essentials to Friday night favourites, this partnership makes it easier than ever for people across the South of England to access our products, including those who may not be able to physically visit a store or families who are juggling busy schedules.
“With the preference for on-demand groceries showing no signs of slowing down, we’re pleased to give our customers more choice in how they want to shop with us and look forward to expanding this in the near future with six more stores due to join the partnership in due course.”
Suzy McClintock, at Deliveroo said: "We're delighted to welcome Southern Co-op to Deliveroo. This significant partnership dramatically expands choice for our grocery customers across the South of England. We know that more than ever our customers value speed and convenience, and this partnership gives them access to groceries delivered straight to their door in as little as 20 minutes.”
