Deliveroo Hop, in partnership with Choithrams, will operate its own delivery-only grocery stores offering customers on-demand groceries in as little as 15 minutes within a defined radius. The latest service will benefit from a deep integration between Deliveroo’s newly-developed grocery management technology, the company’s logistics algorithms and their network of delivery riders across the UAE.
Deliveroo’s delivery-only grocery store will offer an elevated consumer experience in areas such as:

Deliveroo Hop’s technology for optimized supply chain will enable real-time inventory administration, providing reliable item availability and eliminating the need for item substitution.
- Time Efficiency: Deliveroo Hop’s leading warehouse management technology, combined with Deliveroo’s world-renowned logistics algorithms and existing network of riders in the UAE enables delivery in as little as 15 minutes. Deliveroo Hop prides itself on their quick preparation time resulting from their tech-optimized selection process. Deliveroo Hop orders will only be accepted within a defined radius from the warehouse, ensuring that riders have ample time to complete their delivery.
- Wider product range: Deliveroo’s partner-led model enables a range of essential items from the trusted retailer, Choithrams, including high-quality fresh food, a wide selection of shelf stable food, personal care, home care, as well as pet care products.
