Co-op extends and deepens partnership with Uber Eats
Co-op has announced a three-year extension of its quick commerce partnership with Uber Eats.
Since the launch of the tie-up in 2022, the number of Co-op stores where Uber Eats is available has increased to more than 1,300.
Deepening the relationship, Co-op will extend its work with Uber Direct, the white-label last-mile delivery service. Uber Direct already offers a delivery service from Co-op’s own online shop and will now work closely with the Co-op on deliveries for orders placed via the convenience retailer’s newly launched App, ‘Peckish’.
Launched in February, this is available to small, independent grocery retailers to enable them to provide an online grocery shopping and delivery service to their local customers.
The partnership extension will also see Co-op continue to offer member price savings for Uber Eats users.
Never Miss a Retail Update!Chris Conway, Co-op quick commerce director, said: “Growing our quick commerce channel is a core part of our strategic approach, and I am delighted to extend and deepen our successful partnership with Uber Eats.
“Innovation is fundamental to our approach, whether extending reach and choice, creating value through member price savings, or, delivering the Peckish app to give independent grocery retailers a voice online.
“We see consumer appetite for quick, easy and convenient grocery delivery continue to grow and the agreement with Uber Eats marks the start of a new chapter where we will work together to meet the evolving needs of shoppers and, to grow Co-op’s leading q-comm channel.”
