A SUPERMARKET is launching click-and-collect services in Lancashire after extending a trial scheme.

Customers are now able to order from a full range of groceries online from groceries.aldi.co.uk then collect them from the Preston store, in pre-booked one-hour collection slots.

On arrival at dedicated click-and-collect points in the store car park, customers will be able to have their shopping brought to their cars by Aldi colleagues contact-free, in line with social distancing rules.

Customers can also choose to have their shopping loaded into their boot by an Aldi colleague, so they can collect their shopping without ever having to leave their car. 

More than 200 stores across the UK are now trialling the supermarket’s Click & Collect service.

Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer, Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “Aldi’s quality products and unbeatable prices have never been so in demand.

“Extending this trial is about providing thousands more of our existing customers with another convenient way to shop with us, while also making Aldi accessible for many others who may not have shopped with us before.”

As well as click-and-collect, Aldi is also trialling a rapid delivery service in partnership with Deliveroo and has recently extended the trial to almost 130 stores across the UK.

Customers living near selected stores can order from a range of around 400 Aldi products and have them delivered to their doorstep in as little as 20 minutes.
