Budget supermarket chain Aldi has announced it has scrapped its click-and-collect service at its stores in Norfolk. 

The service was first launched at the Napier Way store in Dereham and the Drayton Road supermarket in Norwich in 2022. 

Customers were able to order from a full range of groceries online and then collect them in pre-booked one-hour slots from the supermarket costing them an additional £4.99.

A spokesman for Aldi said: "At Aldi, our focus is on providing customers with high-quality products at the lowest possible prices.

"One of the ways we keep our prices low for customers is by running the most efficient supermarket business in Britain.

"As a result, we’ve made the decision to bring our click & collect service to an end so we can focus on doing just that.”

In total, 174 stores across the UK will be losing the popular service. 

It comes after the chain announced it was looking to recruit 150 new workers across Norfolk.
