Aldi extends click-and-collect trial to Hemel Hempstead

Aldi is launching a click-and-collect service at its store in Hemel Hempstead.

Customers are now able to order from a full range of groceries online and then collect them - in pre-booked one-hour collection slots - from the store in Maylands Avenue.

On arrival at dedicated click-and-collect points in the store car park, customers will be able to have their shopping brought to their cars by Aldi colleagues contact-free, in line with social distancing rules.

Giles Hurley, chief executive officer, Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “Aldi’s quality products and unbeatable prices have never been so in demand.

“Extending this trial is about providing thousands more of our existing customers with another convenient way to shop with us, while also making Aldi accessible for many others who may not have shopped with us before.”

Aldi is also extending its click-and-collect trial to stores in Royston, Boreham Wood, Bishops Stortford and Welwyn Garden City.

The supermarket is set to extend its trial of click and collect to over 200 additional stores by Christmas.

As well as click-and-collect, Aldi is also trialling a rapid delivery service in partnership with Deliveroo and has recently extended the trial to almost 130 stores across the UK.

Customers living near selected stores can order from a range of around 400 Aldi products and have them delivered to their doorstep in as little as 20 minutes.
