Aldi is launching click-and-collect services on the Isle of Wight for the first time after extending its trial to its Cowes store.
From today (Tuesday), customers will be able to order from a full range of groceries online from groceries.aldi.co.uk then collect them, in pre-booked 1-hour collection slots, from the supermarket’s Three Gates Road store in Cowes.
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.
Aldi is to extend its trial of click and collect to over 200 additional stores by Christmas, but the Lake store has not been included in this.
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.
I feel this will be a tremendous boon for Aldi, they will gain many new customers from this initiative. After all, One is always looking for bargains and whilst One has nothing against Aldi per se One wouldn’t want to be seen shopping there, would One.
Trouble is , as we found on Sunday , with the staff pushing trolleys around doing other people’s shopping , a quite small store with narrow aisles is made worse. Impossible to keep social distancing
Couldn’t agree more just been to Cowes store and it was difficult to get to the fresh meat section for these trolleys they use are far larger than normal ones
