Evri and Asda have announced a new partnership that will see the rollout of ParcelShops in all its stores – in what the supermarket is calling an industry first for a UK grocer, underscoring its focus on offering a range of services under one roof.

The service has already launched in over 300 Asda locations, including its Express convenience sites and some of its supermarkets and superstores, allowing customers to collect and return parcels from thousands of different retailers, at their local store.

The ParcelShops will be rolled out to all 1,200 Asda stores across the U.K. by April 2026.

“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,” commented Chris Hall, Vice President of Logistics at Asda.

With over 97% of urban consumers already within one mile of an Evri pick-up/drop-off point, the expansion highlights the growing popularity of out-of-home (OOH) delivery networks.

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.

“We are excited about the opportunities this new partnership will bring, helping to us further drive our ambition to expand our capabilities and deliver an even more comprehensive, cost-effective, and customer-focused service across the UK and beyond.”

Asda recently announced it had accelerated the rollout of its new convenience format, Asda Express, with the opening of nine new stores.
