Sainsbury’s goes Chop Chop for cycle delivery service

Sainsbury’s is rolling out Chop Chop to 20 cities across the country, including for customers at its Coldhams Lane store.

The just-launched delivery option means customers can order up to 20 Sainsbury’s products from a tailored range of around 3,000 essential grocery and household items via the Chop Chop app.

The service has proved hugely popular since being launched in London in April.

Clodagh Moriarty, retail and digital director at Sainsbury’s, said: “Demand for home grocery deliveries has never been higher and we have been receiving great feedback for Chop Chop, with customers really valuing the speed and convenience it brings.”

Sainsbury’s Chop Chop roll-out brings fast grocery deliveries by bike to its customers outside of London for the first time. Once the 50-store roll out is completed, around 3.2 million households will be able to get Sainsbury’s groceries delivered directly to their door within an hour, offering customers who are self-isolating or less able to travel to stores another way to get what they need. Deliveries can be made up to 3km from the food retailer’s Coldhams Lane store.

“The rapid expansion will support Sainsbury’s efforts to feed the nation and help meet unprecedented demand for home grocery deliveries,” adds a Sainsbury spokesperson. “

Home deliveries by bike have proved a popular option for shoppers during the pandemic. The Click It Local service has allowed more than 30 retailers to deliver goods and products to doorsteps across the city and beyond.

Plans to widen pavements and expand facilities for cyclists across the region were announced this week.
