Tesco's rapid delivery service is now available at 1,000 of its stores, as the supermarket giant said it has surpassed its own target for expanding it. The service, called Whoosh, launched in May 2021.
Since then, Tesco said, it has expanded to be available from half of its Express convenience stores across the UK. It said it had set itself a target of 800 stores by the end of February 2023, but had beaten that by 200, with a new Whoosh store opening every 11 hours on average since March 2022.
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. 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 £2.99 for orders that cost £15 or more.
