Co-op to deliver crisps and beer

CO-OP customers will soon be able to buy wine, beer, crisps and chocolate without leaving the sofa.

Co-operative Food is teaming up with Deliveroo for a trial targeting customers looking to have a bottle of wine or packet of sweets delivered in 30 minutes.

The Greater Manchester area trial could be rolled out nationwide.

Prices are generally higher than walking into a Co-op store, with a tube of Pringles sour cream and onion crisps costing £4.69, and a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey carrying a hefty £43.75 price tag.

The Co-op already provides a grocery home delivery service from some of its stores but the Deliveroo trial is limited to snacks and alcohol.
