The retailer estimates that more than 80% of the UK population now has access to Co-op products through its online shop or delivery partnerships. 

Besides its online shop, groceries from local Co-op stores are available through partners such as Deliveroo, Just Eat and Amazon. 

Co-op e-commerce director Chris Conway said: “We have ambitious goals for the continued growth of our e-commerce business, and know that our member-owners and customers value the ease and convenience of quick and convenient online home delivery.  

“Innovation and effective partnerships are a fundamental part of our approach as we grow the reach of both our online shop and our work with strategic partners – offering our member-owners and customers in more communities an extensive range of groceries on-demand from Co-op’s stores locally.” 

In February 2024 the company initiated a trial partnership with UK-based home grocery delivery app Snappy Shopper in Northern Ireland.
