Tesco has added 102 new click and collect sites during its 2021 financial year, as well as launching its Tesco Whoosh rapid delivery service as it continues to improve its delivery and collection offer.
The Tesco Whoosh delivery service, which offers customers more than 1,700 products to choose from and is already available in more than 200 stores, will roll out to 600 stores this year. The company is also trialling superfast delivery with a Gorillas pilot which operates from the company’s Thornton Heath store and was revealed in October.
