YEEP! and Tesco have announced a partnership that will see the brands working together to roll out a series of parcel lockers in key locations to expected consumer access to parcel services.
The partnership will see YEEP!'s solar-powered lockers making their way to 30 Tesco locations in the UK where they will provide 24/7 access for consumers looking to collect, send or return parcels. The locker locations will allow shoppers to strategically combine their Tesco shopping trip with a visit to the YEEP! lockers to maximize ease of access.
YEEP! CEO Jamie Dickinson spoke on the partnership with Tesco saying, "We are incredibly proud to be partnering with Tesco to roll out YEEP! parcel lockers across their store network. As one of the UK’s most trusted retailers, Tesco shares our commitment to convenience, accessibility, and community presence, making this a significant milestone for YEEP!."
