Ocado partners with Canada’s Sobeys

Online supermarket Ocado has agreed a tie-up with Canadian food retailer Sobeys.

According to reports, Ocado will help Sobeys will build a warehouse outside Toronto and will enable the retailer to use its e-commerce, product-picking and logistics technology to take and deliver online orders.

This appears to be broadly similar to the sort of partnership Sobey agreed with France’s Groupe Casino in November.

Sobeys chief executive Michael Medline was quoted as saying: “This unique and innovative Sobeys and Ocado experience will offer consumers the biggest selection, freshest products and most reliable delivery available anywhere on the planet.”
