Tesco shoppers can now get groceries delivered to their door in as little as 30 minutes from 1,000 stores. The supermarket has rolled out its Woosh rapid delivery service to half of its Express convenience stores. The service, which first launched in May 2021, allows customers to order food and snacks from a list of 2,500 to 4,500 essential products in as little as half an hour. Delivery is set at £2.99 for orders that cost £15 or more. The roll-out means that 55 per cent of UK households can now access rapid delivery. Tesco had aimed to extend Whoosh to 800 of its stores by the end of February 2023, but has exceeded that, with the equivalent of a new Whoosh store opening every 11 hours since March 2022.
