Britain’s Co-op Announces Partnership With Amazon

UK’s Co-op has announced plans to accelerate its e-commerce strategy through a new partnership with Amazon and step-up robot deliveries in cooperation with Starship Technologies.

The new elements are part of an ambitious plan to more than double online sales from £70 million to £200 million by the end of the year.

The new strategic partnership and robot rollout are key drivers in Co-op’s plans to speed up what its says ‘rapid kerb to kitchen grocery delivery services.’

The partnership with Amazon offers Prime customers the ability to do their full Co-op grocery shop on Amazon.co.uk, with same-day delivery and two-hour scheduled time slots options.
