UNITED KINGDOM - Asda is beefing up its delivery services in more ways than one this week. Rolling out a brand-new grocery partnership with Uber as well as one of the freshest produce delivery boxes on the market, the retailer is poised for explosive growth in the sector.

Simon Gregg, Vice President of Online Grocery, Asda“We’re pleased to be partnering with Uber Eats to trial a rapid grocery delivery service for customers in Leeds and Birmingham,” said Simon Gregg, Vice President of Online Grocery at Asda. “This will give Asda customers more choice in how they shop with us and offer yet another way to quickly and conveniently get their favorite branded and own-brand products delivered to the doorstep. Customers can use the Uber Eats app to select from hundreds of items for delivery in the same way they would shop for a takeaway.”

Alongside its new partner Uber and its recently debuted grocery service, Asda is now trialing an online ordering service in two U.K.-based locations, according to Prolific North. With this offering, shoppers have access to over 300 of Asda’s grocery offerings.
