A HIGH street store has partnered with Deliveroo to offer home delivery of their products.
WHSmiths stores in Brighton are among those that will be able to get products such as printer cartridges and books to customers within 20 minutes.
The venture is Deliveroo’s first major step into general merchandise, while the company has grown its retail business since Covid, partnering with supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.
The trial will offer around 600 WHSmith products to customers and will first launch on Tuesday March 29 in Reading, before expanding to Brighton next week.
Other participating areas include Richmond, Muswell Hill, Chiswick, Cambridge, Oxford, Leeds, St Albans and Guildford.
