Aldi UK Trials Click-and-collect Grocery Service

In April it started selling online food parcels to help self-isolating and vulnerable customers during the coronavirus crisis and is also ramping-up a rapid delivery service in partnership with Deliveroo.

It said it was currently running a trial of the click-and-collect service for Aldi staff from a store in central England and plans to extend that to customers in the coming weeks.

If that proved successful the trial would be extended to further stores across the country in the near future.

The current trial allows Aldi staff to choose from a full range of grocery items online, then drive to their local store where they can have their shopping brought to their cars by store staff contact-free, in line with social distancing rules.
