Tesco Announces 3-Hour Store Pick-Up Service In UK

UK retailer Tesco plans to offer a service that will allow customers to pick up their purchased items from any of the company's 300 stores within three hours after placing their order online. Accounting for about 10 percent of the country's grocery spending, online orders are forecast to rise to ₤15 billion by 2020, according to market research firm Mintel. Tesco's latest offering helps it get farther ahead of rival J Sainsbury, which began testing a same-day delivery and collection service in July 2016.
