OFFBounds Retail

Although Co-op entered the ecommerce space later than most, launching its online presence only in 2019, the company rapidly distinguished itself through quick commerce. Today, Co-op delivers an impressive 500,000 online grocery orders weekly, and its loyalty membership has surged by 50%. In this episode, Chris Conway, Managing Director of Ecommerce at Co-op, shares how leveraging existing convenience stores, strategic partnerships with Deliveroo and Uber Eats, and experimenting with autonomous robot deliveries have enabled Co-op to scale quickly and efficiently. He also discusses the future of grocery ecommerce, sustainability in retail operations, and why rethinking traditional models was crucial to their success.
