Drive thru groceries expanded

Woolworths has expanded its contactless Drive Thru service in Victoria to help make social distancing easier for customers when picking up their online orders.

Four Casey stores have been added to the growing list of those allowing Drive Thru service: Berwick, Casey Central, Cranbourne North and Marriott Waters

Now available in more than 100 Victorian stores, Woolworths’ Drive Thru allows customers to order groceries online and have personal shoppers pick it for them in-store.

Customers simply confirm when they’ve arrived in the car park via the Woolworths app or SMS link to notify the store team who will then pack the order directly in the boot contactless and with no additional charge.

According to the supermarket giant, demand for pick up has grown by more than 50 percent in Victoria since the second lockdown came into effect at the start of July.

Woolworths Victoria general manager Andrew Hall said: “The needs of our customers are changing in the pandemic, and so is the way we serve them.

“Drive Thru offers a fast, convenient and contactless way to pick up your grocery shop while maintaining social distance.

“It’s a great option for those with mobility challenges and anyone looking to limit their outings due to COVID-19.”

Dozens more Drive Thru sites are expected to be rolled out in the coming weeks.
