LEADING food delivery company, Deliveroo, has today announced that it will be launching in two East Lancashire towns.

Accrington and Great Harwood are the latest additions to their network of areas, meaning locals will be able to order food from a vast range of nearby restaurants and grocery retailers.

For those who don’t know, Deliveroo is an app and website that enables Brits to check out the very best local food in their area.

The British company has seen great success and is now available in 12 different markets across the world.

Deliveroo works with the best local independent restaurants like Black Horse Food Emporium on Abbey St in Accrington and CJ's Deli on Whalley Road in Accrington.

Well-known high street favourites like KFC and Subway, as well as grocery retailers and convenience stores such as Co-op and One Stop also feature on the app and website.

The food delivery company will continue to add new local restaurants, takeaways and grocery partners, with the likes of Morrisons joining Deliveroo in the coming months.

In celebration of the launch, Deliveroo are offering new customers £10 off their first order when they sign up to the platform and use the code ACCRINGTON10 at checkout. This is an offer for new customers only, with a minimum spend of £15 or more.

Deliveroo is also offering all customers 25% off on selected restaurants until July 25.

The launch will be a major boost to small restaurant businesses across Accrington and Great Harwood who will be able to reach new customers and grow their restaurant businesses through offering delivery. 

Working with Deliveroo increases restaurants’ sales as they can reach a wider range of customers. This enables restaurants to expand their businesses, often employing more staff, broadening their menus and lengthening opening times as a result.

It’s also a great opportunity for anyone looking for a job in the area as Deliveroo will be also looking for up to 50 people in Accrington and Great Harwood to become riders.

Those who work as riders will be able to work when they want and where they want, delivering food and groceries to customers’ doors in as little as 30 minutes.

Berenice Cowan, Head of UK Expansion for Deliveroo said, "At last, we've arrived in Accrington and Great Harwood! We can't wait to bring everyone great food from local and national favourites, and to help local chefs reach new customers. Hungry foodies, here we come!"
