[Waitrose has signed a deal with takeaway food
company Deliveroo to give customers
a fast-track service from its stores to their homes.
The supermarket says it plans to run a 12-week trial
starting from 1 September.

Households will be able to choose from more
than 500 Waitrose products.
The move reflects Waitrose's aim to form
partnerships that make its products easily available.

"This gives us an opportunity to give
our customers a taste of what the future
of convenience shopping could look
like for us," said James Bailey,
executive director for Waitrose.]

Oh this is a step forward, we shop at Waitrose and sometimes a delivery would be welcome, although they do a delivery service already a fast track one would be good.
