Tesco has launched nationwide on Deliveroo, which gives millions of customers across the UK a way to purchase essentials from the major supermarket retailer.

Customers will be able to purchase a range of items between 7am and 10pm across more locations in as little as 20 minutes.

This comes after a successful trial across 147 Tesco stores and has also expanded the Clubcard Prices and Points loyalty programme.

The move aims to expand the retailer’s overall customer reach by offering convenient delivery through Deliveroo’s platform.

Ishna Berry, rapid delivery director at Tesco, said: “Customers are looking for more flexibility than ever in how they shop with Tesco.

“Launching nationwide on Deliveroo gives millions more people another convenient way to shop Tesco, bringing our great quality, value and range to even more customers, alongside the added benefits of Clubcard Prices and earning Clubcard points.

“Whether it’s a forgotten ingredient, a last-minute family meal or a quick top-up shop, customers now have even more ways to get products delivered when and where they need them.”

Rob Harris, chief revenue officer at Deliveroo, said: “Since our trial launched, it’s been clear just how much customers value having Tesco on Deliveroo, so we’re delighted to now be taking that nationwide.

“This means millions more customers can get Tesco’s range, quality and value delivered in as little as 20 minutes, with Clubcard Prices and points along the way.”

This launch arrives as Tesco’s rapid delivery service Whoosh continues to grow, with sales increasing by 51 per cent year-on-year and around 1.5m customers using the service nationwide according to the business.

The supermarket retailer’s delivery service, Whoosh, offers grocery delivery in as little as 20 minutes from around 1,800 stores across the UK.
