Asda introduces new cleaning policy and delivery service

 

The supermarket company Asda is making some changes to its UK stores. It is trialling new services that will soon be available.

Trolley cleaning
the firm is testing a new trolley wash facility in the Leeds store. This will be implemented permanently in its outlets if successful. Developed by WasteCare Group, it is said to eliminate 99.99 percent of all known bacteria, viruses and pollutants. This system works by coating trolleys in fine particles and will ensure that trolleys are sanitised before use. Asda advanced that safety while shopping is a priority for the firm.

Delivery
Asda has already been offering delivery services for many years. However, during the lockdown, demand has surged. As such, besides its standard facility, the supermarket is teaming up with Uber Eats. Customers will be able to use the latter’s mobile app and purchase more than 300 different products from Asda. The items will be delivered on the same day. Currently, this collaboration is being tested in the Pudsey, Leeds, Barnes Hill and Birmingham stores.

Simon Gregg, the vice president of online grocery at Asda said: “We’re pleased to be partnering with Uber Eats to trial a rapid grocery delivery service for customers in Leeds and Birmingham”.
