Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The scheme, which is set to create eight jobs on the island, is run through the Snappy Shopper app.
It currently covers the west of the island but from 13 September will be extended to cover other island postcodes.
Local products have proved popular, especially Isle of Wight milk and free range eggs, which have been the most ordered items.
Matt Elliott, retail buying and services manager at the Southern Co-op, said: “We know our convenience store colleagues offer their communities a great personal service so we are aiming to replicate this with quick deliveries and a phone call to talk through any changes to their order.
“So far this has gone down well as we’ve seen a number of repeat customers.”
Andy Batt, head of group development at Snappy Shopper, said: “We are thrilled to extend our service on the island and give shoppers on-demand access to thousands of products in their local Southern Co-op store.
“Post lockdown the demand for home delivery is greater than ever and via our app islanders can receive home deliveries seven days a week.”
There are more than 3,000 products to order covering fresh foods, groceries, pet food, baby care, magazines and newspapers.
