Aldi’s new partnership with Deliveroo for rapid delivery service officially launches today (6 October), and shoppers close to eight participating stores will be able to receive orders directly.

This is part of a trial period where Deliveroo’s riders will pick, pack and deliver customers’ orders directly from Aldi stores.

The products that will be available through the delivery’s platform will include fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, seafood, dairy products, bread and household essentials.

This service will first launch across the discounter’s stores in Ashford, Dover, Norwich, Ipswich, Letchworth, Garden City, Margate, Strood and Tamworth. Aldi has plans to expand to further stores in early 2027.

Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, said: “Customers tell us they want shopping to be as convenient as possible, so launching this service with Deliveroo is a great opportunity to make it even easier to shop at Aldi.

“From tomorrow, shoppers will be able to get their Aldi favourites delivered straight to their door, while enjoying the award-winning quality and market-leading value they expect from us.”

The riders will be guided for each order through Deliveroo’s rider app, where they can scan products before paying with a prepaid Rider Card.

Rob Harris, VP merchant and chief revenue officer at Deliveroo, said: “We are excited to welcome Aldi to the Deliveroo platform through a brand-new service, Shop & Deliver. Consumers in several locations across the country will now be able to enjoy Aldi’s great value and selection delivered to their doorstep on demand.”

This reinforces the retailer’s commitment to offering more convenient options for its shoppers and expanding its overall customer reach.
