Co-op and Uber Eats extend quick commerce partnership
British co-operative Co-op and Uber Eats have renewed their partnership for an additional three years up to 2027, continuing a collaboration which began in 2022. Their alliance has expanded the availability of Uber Eats to more than 1,300 Co-op stores, solidifying the retailer's position as one of the leading quick commerce grocery supermarket through its online platform and key partnerships. As part of the ongoing relationship, the Co-op will further its engagement with Uber Direct, Uber's last-mile delivery solution. Uber Direct has already been integrated into Co-op's online shop to facilitate smooth deliveries. The service will also be available for orders made through Co-op's newly introduced app, Peckish, which is aimed at bolstering independent local grocery retailers throughout the UK. Launched in February 2025, Peckish empowers small, family-run, independent grocers to provide online shopping and delivery options. The extended partnership ensures that Co-op will maintain member price discounts for Uber Eats customers. Uber Eats was the inaugural delivery service to incorporate Co-op member price discounts, allowing Co-op's more than 6 million members to enjoy savings on nearly 200 products when purchasing groceries and daily necessities via the Uber app. Co-op quick commerce director Chris Conway stated: 'Growing our quick commerce channel is a core part of our strategic approach, and I am delighted to extend and deepen our successful partnership with Uber Eats. 'Innovation is fundamental to our approach, whether extending reach and choice, creating value through member price savings or delivering the Peckish app to give independent grocery retailers a voice online. 'We see consumer appetite for quick, easy and convenient grocery delivery continuing to grow, and the agreement with Uber Eats marks the start of a new chapter where we will work together to meet the evolving needs of shoppers and to grow Co-op's leading q-comm [commerce focusing specifically on quick delivery) channel.' In January 2025, Co-op announced plans to launch 75 new stores across the UK in 2025.

‘Peckish' app allows speedy delivery from independent grocers
Co-op is launching an app to allow smaller, independent grocers to supply their customers with the speedy deliveries usually offered by their biggest competitors. With tens of thousands of independent grocery retailers in the UK, Co-op said the rapid delivery Peckish app is designed to share Co-op's quick-commerce expertise and ensure local retail can thrive to make high streets and their communities resilient and long-lasting. It said the app overcomes barriers faced by independent retailers when moving to sell online, including cost, scale and resources, allowing more consumers to quickly and conveniently shop locally and support their high street stores. Co-op is making an initial £1 million investment for the first year of Peckish, following a successful 30-store trial last year, during which time it is aiming for more than 1,000 stores to sign up. Shoppers can use Peckish to choose their groceries from the range of products the individual retailer has selected to put online. Retailers can choose whether to deliver the online orders themselves, or for it to be done through Co-op's system and delivered locally through partners including Just Eat and Uber Direct in as little as under 30 minutes. Co-op Food managing director Matt Hood said: 'The growth and popularity of quick commerce in the UK is exceptional, as consumers' appetite for a convenient grocery delivery service in as little as 30 minutes from ordering increases almost weekly. 'We know that smaller local shops, like our own, operate at the heart of the local community life. More than a shop, they are a community hub, creating value locally through job creation, community participation and their support of local suppliers. 'The 'shop local' sentiment is strong amongst consumers, and Peckish can help more retailers connect quickly online with their customers, providing greater consumer choice locally, and promoting healthier and more viable high streets and communities.'
