Loughton residents can now order from their local Aldi supermarket on Deliveroo.

The Debden Aldi branch has been added to the food delivery giant's app.

Customers within a 6 kilometre radius of the store can choose from around 400 Adi grocery items for high-speed delivery.

Once ordered, products are picked and packed by Aldi staff before being delivered by Deliveroo’s network of riders, which the company claims can be in as little as 20 minutes.

Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi UK, said: “We’re finding customers really value having more ways to shop at Aldi, particularly in Essex.

“That’s why we’re extending our partnership with Deliveroo to the Debden store, offering Aldi’s unbeatable value to even more customers.”

The Deliveroo trial was initially launched at eight stores in England last May and is available at around 120 stores across the UK.

Carlo Mocci, chief business officer at Deliveroo said: “Bringing great selection to our customers is at the heart of what we do here at Deliveroo. That’s why we are delighted that even more customers across the UK will be able to choose from a wide range of Aldi’s great quality and affordable groceries delivered directly to their door."
