Asda has announced that they will be offering online grocery shoppers an option to collect grocery orders from tube stations on the London Underground.
The supermarket group has reached a deal with Transport for London to open six click-and-collect points in the car parks at London Underground stations at East Finchley, Harrow and Wealdstone, High Barnet, Highgate, Stanmore and Epping in a bid to target commuters.
Asda’s next part of a five year plan is to open 1,000 click-and-collect points paying particular focus on London and the South East.
Mark Ibbotson, Asda's Retail Director, said: “Customers in the south east tell us that they want the prices and quality provided by Asda value but they can’t access it easily. This tie-up with TfL solves that.
“We’ve led the way in click-and-collect by bringing Asda to where customers are rather than expecting them to come to us. From park and ride locations to business parks, now London Underground station car parks are another significant step on that journey.
“We believe customers will value the convenience of collecting shopping at their home tube station rather than carrying the products bought in premium convenience stores on their commute home."
Shoppers who order their food online before noon will be able to collect their grocery shopping from the station after 4pm.
