Surging online demand drives expansion of delivery service across Europe
Uber Technologies is expanding its partnership with French grocery chain Carrefour to offer rapid delivery of groceries from nine micro-fulfilment centres across Paris.
While Uber customers were already able to receive items from Carrefour in half an hour, the new service will allow consumers to get their delivery from “dark store” locations operated by Carrefour-backed start-up Cajoo within 15 minutes, according to a statement from the companies. “I could see a number of countries for partnerships like this. The UK is one of them but I could see this model working in multiple markets in EMEA for us,” Henrikson said.
The new service, called Carrefour Sprint, will allow Parisians to order from a selection of about 2,000 items such as produce and cleaning products. Uber and Carrefour plan to expand the offering to other French cities in the coming weeks.
