Tesco-owned convenience retailer One Stop has partnered with Uber Eats to offer rapid grocery deliveries.
The agreement has already seen over 100 One Stop stores launch on the Uber Eats app over the last month, with a further 400 stores to be added by the end of the year.
Product offerings range from confectionery and alcohol to fresh meats, fruit and vegetables as well as seasonal deals and offers.
Alex Troughton, head of new verticals and grocery at Uber Eats UK, said: “One Stop shops are known for their convenience and play an integral part in many communities.
“We’re excited to have them on board the Uber Eats app, allowing us to offer our customers an even wider variety of grocery and convenience goods seven days a week.”
Jonny McQuarrie, managing director at One Stop, added: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Uber Eats and as always, we are committed to making it as easy as possible for our customers to shop with us.
“Customers will be able to have great quality products at their doorstep within minutes. We look forward to offering the Uber Eats service to both our existing loyal customers and new customers across the country.”
One Stop has previously worked with Uber Eats rivals Just Eat and Deliveroo to offer rapid deliveries.
The One Stop deal signals a strengthening relationship between Tesco and Uber Eats. Last week, Tesco announced it was working with Uber Eats to leverage its network of couriers to deliver orders for the supermarket’s Whoosh service.
NAM Implications:
- Good for One Stop, good for Uber Eats.
- Another route to consumer…
- …all reducing heavy dependence on the traditional mults’ Bricks & Mortar offering.
- One to keep on the New Radar…
