Uber Eats and Co-op have extended their quick commerce partnership for another three years. Starting in 2022, the collaboration has since seen the number of Co-op stores where Uber Eats is available increase to more than 1,300 UK sites.
This extended partnership builds on the success of Uber Eats and Co-op’s relationship which aims to provide rapid, reliable and convenient grocery deliveries to communities nationwide.
Furthermore, Co-op will extend its work with Uber Direct – Uber’s white-label last-mile delivery service. Uber Direct already offers a seamless delivery service from Co-op’s own online shop, and will now work closely with Co-op on deliveries for orders placed via the convenience retailer’s newly launched app, Peckish – which is dedicated to supporting independent local grocery retailers in communities across the UK.
The partnership extension will also see Co-op continue to offer member price savings for Uber Eats users. Uber Eats was the first delivery platform to include Co-op member price savings, with Co-op’s more than six million member-owners able to access savings on approaching 200 products when ordering groceries and everyday essentials through Uber’s app.
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.”
Co-op reported that around 86% of the UK population has access to Co-op groceries online through its own online shop – shop.coop.co.uk – and partners.
