Home deliveries hit £1m in less than two years for Scottish retailer

Adeil Hussain went through the £1m mark in just 20 months at his store in Airbles, Motherwell.

Hussain has racked up over 19,660 orders and 800 customers. He said: “The figures really speak for themselves. We’ve achieved this through repeat customers; they trust us and come back time and time again.

“Working with Snappy Shopper we’re a little different to other delivery services as we offer the same in-store price, including promotions.

“It’s then delivered in anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour later. The opportunities are huge and people are crying out for this type of service as they want the convenience of shopping arriving quickly at a price they’d pay if they came in store.

“By us responding to consumer demand, everyone wins.”

Hussain introduced the service in February 2020, just as Covid was approaching. After a slow start orders started running at up to 100 a day.

John Miller, head of franchise, said: “Lockdown has shown us what the future of convenience retailing looks like and how customers are preferring to shop. People are working differently; needs are changing and convenience is ever more in demand.

“This is a fantastic milestone for Adeil and his team and shows how hard everyone has worked to achieve such profitable sales, whilst, at the same time, helping so many in the community.”
