Morrisons announces huge update to its food delivery service - more shoppers to benefit within days
GETTY
Morrisons is set to expand its partnership with Uber Eats, adding over 400 supermarkets to the food delivery platform in the coming days.
This comes just weeks after it announced it would extend its partnership with Deliveroo, meaning customers have even more ways to get their food delivered.
The move will allow customers to order from tens of thousands of items, including everyday essentials and Market Street fresh favourites, for quick delivery.
The expansion builds upon the existing collaboration between Uber Eats and Morrisons Daily convenience stores.

With an average delivery time of less than 30 minutes for Uber Eats customers in the UK, this partnership aims to provide even more choice and convenience for shoppers seeking rapid grocery delivery services.
The expanded partnership will offer Morrisons customers access to a wide range of products, including items from The Best range and last-minute dinner options.
Hundreds of these products have been price-matched to Morrisons supermarkets, ensuring competitive pricing for customers using the delivery service.
The collaboration comes as Uber Eats reports a significant increase in grocery orders over the past two years, with the number of UK users nearly doubling.
Head of grocery & retail at Uber Eats for Europe, Middle East and Africa Alex Troughton said: "It is fantastic to be expanding our partnership with Morrisons to include their supermarkets for the first time.

Morrisons Online Director Charlotte Exell added: "We're delighted to be offering customers another fast and convenient way to get Morrisons groceries delivered straight to their door by expanding our successful partnership with Uber.
"We're committed to offering our customers great value high-quality products however they choose to shop with us."
