Aldi introduces food delivery services for the first time


For the first time ever, Aldi has introduced its home delivery services. Unlike other grocery stores, this solution was not offered by the budget supermarket before. Instead, it provided online shopping facilities only for its Special Buys, wine and hampers.

However, the firm has just collaborated with Deliveroo to trial its new 'on-demand grocery home delivery' service. This solution will first be tested from its Daleside Road store in Nottingham and it will be expanded to seven more outlets next month. To place an order, customers will have to use the Deliveroo app. They will be able to choose from more than 150 Aldi products, such as bread, milk and fresh produce, that will be picked and packed by employees in stores. Then, the delivery company’s riders will be responsible to get them to customers’ house.

Additionally, this new delivery service is being advertised as a very fast one.  The firm advanced that the items you order will reach your doorstep in as little as 30 minutes. Considering that consumers have complained of delays with regards to online grocery shopping solutions, this is a huge advantage.

Giles Hurley, chief executive officer of Aldi UK & Ireland, said, “We hope the new trial with Deliveroo will provide more customers with access to great quality, affordable food at Aldi”.
Products will be delivered within 30 minutes
