Booker is continuing to help its independent retailers grow their business and reach more customers with the national roll out of a new last-mile delivery partnership between Scoot and Just Eat.

The new service will give Booker’s symbol retailers - including Premier, Budgens, Londis and Family Shopper - the option to offer fast, reliable grocery delivery without needing to manage their own fleet or drivers. With 80% of customers now wanting same-day or on-demand delivery, Booker's symbol retailers will benefit from direct integration with Just Eat’s technology and courier network.

The partnership officially launched last week, with the first store - Budgens Buckingham Park in Aylesbury - going live on 4 September, followed by multiple Premier and Budgens locations across England, Scotland and Wales throughout the month.

By working closely with Just Eat over recent months, Scoot has developed an API integration that allows symbol retailers to offer rapid delivery to customers with ease, speed, and minimal operational complexity.

Shoppers will continue to place orders via the Scoot app, with deliveries fulfilled by Just Eat’s courier network. The move provides a convenient, affordable way for stores to enter the fast-growing home delivery space - without the need for a large upfront investment. Additional locations are being added weekly, with more retailers already in discussion with Scoot about the benefits of joining the service.
