Deliveroo has launched a new 10 minutes home delivery service called Hop in Italy. It has partnered with Carrefour for this service and the offer comprises over 1,500 products which includes the retailer’s own brands Carrefour, Carrefour Quality Supply Chain, Terre d'Italia and Carrefour Bio.
The service operates through dark stores and is initially offered in Milan. In the coming months, it will be extended to Rome and other Italian cities. Consumers will be able to check product availability in real time so that there will be no need for replacements.
Retailer Spar has also started fast delivery – in 35 minutes – in 14 Italian cities. The company offers the service in partnership with home delivery platform Glovo and it is available 7 days a week.
In addition, several specialist operators have started to offer a rapid grocery delivery service in Italy over the past twelve months, including Gorillas and Getir.
