French retailer Carrefour has partnered with Spanish on-demand delivery firm Glovo to offer a 30-minute home grocery delivery service.
Starting early October, the service will commence in France, Spain, Italy, and Argentina.
For the initial launch, the retailer has selected Paris in France; Sevilla and Valencia in Spain; Milan and Rome in Italy; and Buenos Aires in Argentina.
The deal is part of the company’s plans to develop a new omnichannel model and expand its presence in food e-commerce. It also complements the retailer’s existing services, including Express Delivery in France.
Glove will expand its business in the grocery segment and strengthen its geographic footprint.
Customers can shop from a range of 2,500 products on the Glovo platform and place the order.
