Co-op’s partnership with Just Eat is set to deliver from nearly 1,000 stores by the end of May as it increases its online availability.
Following a successful trial with Just Eat, the convenience retailer now looks to achieve 30% of the UK online quick convenience market from store to door.
Co-op has also estimated that more than 80% of the UK population will have access to its offerings by the end of 2023 through its partners and own online shop.
Using its stores located in local communities to increase its online offer, the retailer saw its online revenues grow by 24% last year.
