Tesco has exceeded the rollout target of its rapid delivery service Whoosh by 25%, with home delivery now available from 1,000 Express stores.<\/p>\n

The grocer first launched the online service in May 2021 and is now available from half of Tesco\u2019s estate of Express convenience stores across the UK, serving 55% of UK households.<\/p>\n

Tesco had set a target to offer Whoosh from 800 of its stores by the end of February 2023, but has exceeded that target by 200 stores, with the equivalent of a new Whoosh store opening every 11 hours since March 2022.<\/p>\n\n

The Hammersmith Olympia Express store in London became the 1,000th Tesco Express to offer rapid grocery delivery to the door when it launched recently.<\/p>\n

Whoosh offers customers the chance to order food or snacks from a curated list of 2,500 to 4,500 essential products in as little as 30 minutes, with delivery set at \u00a32.99 for orders that cost \u00a315 or more.<\/p>\n

The immediacy of the service and convenience of home delivery is popular with customers looking for things like a quick and easy meal deal or last-minute purchases.<\/p>\n

Tesco has also looked at how to further improve the customer experience, with new features on the app such as 15-minute delivery window estimates and live tracking of the rider on a map.<\/p>\n

Head of Whoosh, Greg Bertrand said: \u201cOur Whoosh service is rolling out at a rapid pace, opening in two Express stores a day on average this year. We\u2019ve beaten our own target and we are seeing growing evidence that customers love the quality, speed and convenience of the service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are getting faster, and our availability is at a consistently high level. Whether it is a missing ingredient as you start to prepare a meal or ordering a Finest meal deal to eat that night, Whoosh can quickly come to the rescue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
