London commuters will be able to pick up groceries ordered online on the way home from work as Asda puts collection points in six tube station car parks.(Food Display)
The partnership with the London underground operator Transport for London will enable shoppers to order the goods online before 12 noon and pick them up after 4pm. The scheme is part of Asda's plans to add 1,000 more places where shoppers can pick up online orders and extend its operations in London and the south-east of England.(Clothing Display)
"Customers in the south-east tell us they want the prices and quality provided by Asda value, but they can't access it easily. This tie-up with TfL solves that,"said Asda's retail director, Mark Ibbotson.(Display Rack)
If the scheme proves successful at the six pilot locations – East Finchley, Harrow and Wealdstone, High Barnet, Highgate, Stanmore and Epping – Asda intends to expand to more tube station pick-up points.(Supermarket Display)
