Sainsbury's launch speedy bike delivery service called 'Chop Chop' for people in Milton Keynes

The Chop Chop service is available to customers who live within 3km of the Sainsbury's store at Shenley Church End.

Designed for people still struggling to get an online delivery slot, it means people who are self-isolating or less able to travel to stores have another way to get what they need.

They can order via the Chop Chop app up to 20 Sainsbury's products from a range of around 3,000 essential grocery and household items and get them delivered to their door in less than 60 minutes.

The service is being rolled out to 20 UK cities, bringing the offer to customers outside of London for the first time.

Since the beginning of April, Sainsbury’s has successfully used Chop Chop across London and trialled making deliveries from closed convenience stores for the first time.

Learnings and customer feedback from the trial have been used to improve the service further as the offer expands to supermarkets in cities across the country.

The supermarket has already more than doubled the number of customer orders it can fulfil from these stores as delivery slots are typically all booked by 10am.

The rapid expansion will support Sainsbury’s efforts to increase the total number of online delivery slots for its groceries online service. Sainsbury’s is continuing to prioritise elderly, disabled and vulnerable customers for its Groceries Online delivery slots as well as exploring innovative new ways to deliver to more customers.

Clodagh Moriarty, Retail and Digital Director at Sainsbury’s said: “We are doing everything we can to feed the nation and offer our customers quick, convenient and safe ways to get their groceries. 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. By rolling Chop Chop out to 50 stores in 20 cities across the country, even more customers can get what they need delivered to their door.”
