News Release
Release date: 13 June 2019
Morrisons and Amazon to expand ultra-fast same day, online
grocery home delivery service to many more cities across the UK
Morrisons and Amazon are pleased to announce they are expanding
the 'Morrisons at Amazon' store on Prime Now to many more cities
across the UK.
'Morrisons at Amazon' is an ultra-fast same day, online grocery
home delivery service, currently available to Amazon Prime Now
customers in four cities: Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, and parts
of London and the home counties. Customers can order a full
Morrisons shop online, which is then picked at a local Morrisons
store, and delivered by Amazon. The option for delivery within one
hour of the order being placed is available for many customers
across these cities.
During 2019, this ultra-fast same day service will begin to be
rolled out to other cities, including Glasgow, Newcastle,
Liverpool, Sheffield and Portsmouth. In future years, 'Morrisons at
Amazon' will be expanded to further cities across the UK.
The expansion will see Morrisons becoming a retailer on Amazon's
Prime Now website and app, through 'Morrisons at Amazon', and
selling directly to customers. Morrisons will continue as a
wholesaler for all Amazon's other UK grocery offers for
customers.
David Potts, Morrisons Chief Executive, said:
"Morrisons conveniently located local supermarkets and Amazon's
very popular website and customer offer are an ideal combination,
offering ultra-fast same day grocery home delivery for customers in
and around cities across Britain.
"Amazon has been a valued partner of Morrisons for over three
years, and we are pleased to be expanding our relationship
together. Continuing to partner with the best digital operators
such as Amazon is a significant, capital light growth opportunity
for Morrisons."
Doug Gurr, Amazon UK Country Manager, said:
"We have greatly valued our relationship with Morrisons since
the launch of the Morrisons store on Prime Now in the UK in 2016
and expanding this relationship enables us to offer Morrisons high
quality grocery selection to even more Prime members.
"We are committed to growing our grocery business so that we can
continue to deliver what we know our customers will always care
about - low prices, vast selection, and fast delivery - and our
relationship with Morrisons is an important part of that long-term
growth. With the Morrisons store on Prime Now, many Prime members
can do their full weekly grocery shop online through Prime Now with
ultra-fast same day delivery."
