Lidl partners with Irish startup, Buymie

Lidl has partnered with Irish startup, Buymie, to deliver goods to shoppers in Cork, Ireland.

The Buymie app, which connects customers with independent shoppers who then pick up and deliver goods, will provide same-day delivery from Lidl stores to 86,000 households in the Cork area. Initially, 50 shoppers will be hired to support the service.

The development means 750,000 households can now access the service in Ireland and the UK, with the service also available in Bristol, England.
