Southern Co-op Teams with Deliveroo to Expand On-Demand Grocery Delivery

The partnership makes it easier for people across the South of England to access Southern Co-op products, supporting customers who cannot visit stores in person and families managing busy schedules through fast, convenient delivery.

Southern Co-op has launched a new partnership with Deliveroo across 139 stores, bringing its products directly to doors across the South of England.

Customers within a 2km radius of the participating stores, including Guildford, Wimbledon, and Winchester, will be able to choose from up to 6,500 product lines, ranging from everyday essentials to specially selected, locally sourced brands unique to each location. 

Once customers place an order through the Deliveroo app, products are picked and packed by Southern Co-op colleagues before being delivered by Deliveroo’s network of riders in as little as 20 minutes.

Simon Eastwood, Chief Operating Officer at Southern Co-op, said, “We pride ourselves on listening to our members and customers in the local communities we serve, and this is our next step in giving them more, direct to their door.”

“From household essentials to Friday night favourites, this partnership makes it easier than ever for people across the South of England to access our products, including those who may not be able to physically visit a store or families who are juggling busy schedules.”

“With the preference for on-demand groceries showing no signs of slowing down, we’re pleased to give our customers more choice in how they want to shop with us and look forward to expanding this in the near future with six more stores due to join the partnership in due course.” 

Suzy McClintock at Deliveroo said, “We’re delighted to welcome Southern Co-op to Deliveroo. This significant partnership dramatically expands choice for our grocery customers across the South of England.” 

“We know that more than ever our customers value speed and convenience, and this partnership gives them access to groceries delivered straight to their door in as little as 20 minutes.” ​​
