The service allows customers to access Asda’s full online line of over 30,000 grocery items to be delivered within the hour if they live within a three-mile radius of a program store and order up to 70 items.

But the cost of each delivery will be £ 8.50 regardless of the number of items ordered.

A trial run at stores in Halifax, Poole, Rotherham and Walsall in June exceeded bosses’ expectations with more initial orders than expected.

The supermarket giant also recently extended its partnership with Uber Eats to more than 300 stores, although the number of products available is much less.

If the last stage of the deployment is successful, the bosses hope to expand it further.

Simon Gregg, Vice President of Online Grocery, Asda, said: “We are rolling out our express delivery service to nearly 100 stores after a trial shows there is a clear lack in the market for prompt delivery service offering our full line of products online for delivery. within one hour.

“As the only grocer to offer this service, we have seen a significant number of customers accessing this option, with niches selling regularly in our pilot stores. “

Competitors such as Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury’s already offer hourly – or faster – delivery services through Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Amazon and other vendors, though none offer a full range of products.
