Asda has signed a new multi-year preferred partner agreement with Uber Direct, to increase the number of locations offering delivery in as little as one hour.
The extended partnership will increase the availability of Asda’s express delivery service powered by Uber Direct’s courier network.
Additionally, this enables Asda to fulfil large basket orders nationwide, allowing customers to use the on-demand service for their weekly grocery shop.
The service originally enabled orders to be delivered from approximately 300 superstores across the UK, and was expanded to 10 additional superstore locations in H2 2025.
The supermarket is now seeking to expand its proposition to more locations in 2026, increasing its customer reach and further driving its mission “to deliver real value for ordinary working people”.
