The supermarket has permanently extended its rapid delivery hours at 35 stores nationwide following a successful trial during the FIFA World Cup. During the trial, orders increased by 17 per cent around England’s game against Croatia and just before Scotland’s match against Morocco. The extended delivery service is limited to orders placed through the three partner delivery apps and does not affect in-store shopping hours. Customers can check which branches are included by searching for Waitrose on Deliveroo, Uber Eats or Just Eat. Waitrose, which operates around 320 shops across the UK, continues to grow its presence on third-party delivery apps as demand for fast grocery services increases.
