Using the service, customers can order from thousands of products such as bread, milk and store cupboard essentials from the Just Eat app or website.

In addition, shoppers will have access to household name brands, offers and promotions and the company’s own-brand product.

Co-op’s store footprint will serve as micro-distribution hubs and orders will be delivered in as little as under 30 minutes.

Co-op e-commerce director Chris Conway said: “Co-op stores are well placed in the heart of local communities to provide quick, easy and convenient home deliveries – whether a full shop or last-minute top-ups.
