The supermarket has launched its rapid one-hour delivery service to 96 stores across the country after the trial 'exceeded expectations'.

The 'Express Delivery' service allows customers to order up to 70 products from the grocer's online shop for delivery within one hour if they live within a three-mile radius of a store.

Tesco has expanded its 'Whoosh' service to 60 shops, while Sainsbury’s also operates its own service, called 'Chop Chop.

Morrisons offers same-day rapid deliveries as part of its tie-up with Amazon, which also offers customers its own Amazon Fresh products.

Simon Gregg, Asda's vice president of online grocery, said: 'We are rolling out our Express Delivery service to almost 100 stores after a trial showed there was a clear gap in the market for a speedy delivery service offering our full online product range for delivery within one hour.'

The service is available at the Doncaster Lakeside store.
