Evri and Asda has today announced a new partnership that will see the rollout of ParcelShops in all Asda stores marking a first for a UK supermarket.

The partnership is expected to allow customers to collect and return parcels from thousands of different retailers at their local Asda store.  

The service has recently launched in over 300 Asda locations, including its larger superstores, supermarkets and some Express convenience sites.

According to Evri, it will eventually be rolled out to all 1,200 Asda stores across the UK by April next year. 

Evri said the announcement follows its commitment to double ParcelShops and Lockers to 25,000 locations by 2030.

Martijn de Lange, Chief Executive at Evri, said: “This landmark agreement with fellow Leeds-based Asda strengthens our commitment to creating a delivery network fit for the modern UK shopper, directly giving them choice, convenience and control.

Chris Hall, Vice President, Logistics at Asda, added: “We know how much our customers value convenience, and this service gives them the flexibility to collect or return an Evri parcel whether they’re popping in for a pint of milk in one of our Express stores or doing their big shop in one of our larger stores.”
