East of England Co-op extends Snappy Shopper same-day delivery

East of England Co-op extends Snappy Shopper same-day delivery

Shoppers in East Anglia can now order groceries online from 92 local East of England Co-op stores and have them delivered straight to their homes in as little as 30 minutes.

Following a successful pilot and a progressive roll-out which began in early December 2020, an additional seven East of England Co-op shops have now been added to the Snappy Shopper home delivery app.


The retailer offers customers home delivery in 30-60 minutes and also offering a click-and-collect service, enabling customers to order via the Snappy Shopper app and collect from their nearest store.

This now means three quarters of East of England Co-op’s 122 food stores across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex are offering home deliveries.

“We are really pleased with how our home delivery service with Snappy Shopper is progressing," said Sean McLaughlin, Head of Commercial from East of England Co-op. "It is allowing our shoppers to shop with us even quicker and simpler. Sales have been beyond our expectation and backed by a collaborative approach across our business and with Snappy Shopper.”

Andy Batt, Head of Group Development at Snappy Shopper, said: "The inclusion of seven new East of England Co-op supermarkets into the mix is a significant milestone in Snappy Shopper's evolution. The additional seven locations now join the existing roster of 85 stores which are reporting excellent results since launching before Christmas 2020.

Snappy Shopper has seen unprecedented demand on its platform as customers look for a convenient, secure and safe means to purchase essential item and have them delivered rapidly. The service is now available at over 700 stores across the UK.
