PnP was a forerunner in expanding into online grocery retail in South Africa years ago. However, Checkers Sixty60 has disrupted the local market over the past year with its âdelivery within 60 minutesâ grocery service, stealing a march on competitors including PnP, Woolworths and Massmartâs Game and Makro chains.
In fact, Woolworths also plans to take on its rivals in the booming on-demand food and grocery delivery space, with the group teasing consumers last month in a tweet about the launch of its âWoolies Dashâ service.
Woolworths has been mum about the new service since posting the tweet, but on Wednesday (23 December) confirmed that it would now be piloting Woolies Dash in select locations. Woolworths has a strong online shopping offering, but has historically struggled with same-day deliveries.
PnP online service expands and now reaches 22 cities from over 130 locations sundayworld.co.za - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from sundayworld.co.za Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
