Co-op is extending its partnership with Deliveroo for a further three years.

As part of the extension, Deliveroo will operate its delivery service across a further 110 stores by the end of the year, bringing the total number to 1,400.

The partnership began in 2017, with Co-op now being one of Deliveroo’s largest grocery partnerships.

“Co-op is committed to exploring new and innovative ways to serve our members and customers, they lead busy lives and so ease, speed and convenience is at the heart of our approach,” said Chris Conway, e-commerce director, Co-op. “We are delighted to be able to expand our partnership with Deliveroo - as a convenience retailer, the ability to come into stores will always be important to customers, but we also know that shoppers want flexible and convenient options online, and so we are focused on providing what our customers want and need, however and wherever they choose to shop with us.”

After a trial, Deliveroo Signature - which makes Deliveroo's UK-wide network of riders also available to deliver orders placed directly with Co-op through its own online shop - is being rolled out across hundreds of Co-op stores.

“Co-op is one of Deliveroo’s largest on-demand grocery partnerships and it continues to be a huge success,” said Carlo Mocci, chief business officer UK&I, Deliveroo. “Deliveroo’s riders have brought countless pints of milk, bananas and meal-time staples to households throughout the UK, helping to rescue tea time, picnic plans and more.

Mocci added: “We’re delighted to be extending our partnership and bringing more choice into people’s lives and easier ways to shop.”
