In a strategic enhancement of its services, Morrisons is set to integrate over 400 more supermarkets into its existing partnership with Uber Eats. This decision is part of a larger plan to extend its rapid delivery services, initially established with Morrisons Daily convenience stores, to a broader audience.
The expanded partnership provides consumers the ability to order from a wide array of tens of thousands of products directly through the Uber Eats app. Customers can choose from daily essentials to fresh produce from the Market Street range, and even items categorized under The Best range. Such diversity of choice not only caters to various tastes and needs but also ensures that customers have access to high-quality options for all their grocery requirements.
In an effort to maintain competitive edge, many products accessible via Uber Eats are price-matched to Morrisons’ in-store pricing. This ensures that online shoppers do not face a price disadvantage compared to those shopping in physical supermarkets, thereby reinforcing Morrisons’ commitment to providing value to all customers, irrespective of the shopping medium.
Charlotte Exell, Morrisons’ online director, expressed delight in offering a fast and convenient grocery delivery service. She emphasized Morrisons’ dedication to delivering high-quality products and great value to customers, reflecting the retailer’s broader strategic objectives.
Uber Eats, on its part, delivers groceries in an average time of under 30 minutes in the UK, meeting the increasing consumer preference for swift delivery services. The platform, which has partnerships with over 63,000 UK restaurants and merchants, recently observed a significant rise in grocery orders, almost doubling in the past two years, showcasing a strong trend towards online grocery shopping.
Alex Troughton, head of grocery and retail for Uber Eats in Europe, noted that the partnership’s expansion increases customer options, with delivery possible in as little as 20 minutes. This reflects the adaptability of both Morrisons and Uber Eats to shifting consumer demands and the growing expectation for enhanced digital shopping experiences.
This strategic expansion embodies Morrisons’ commitment to adapting to consumer needs and strengthening its omnichannel presence.
