Major food distributor launches call & collect members of Grantham public

Members of the public living in and around the Grantham area will be able to take advantage of a new Call & Collect service called ‘Food Shop’, from Brakes, the UK’s leading foodservice wholesaler.

The service has been introduced as Brakes steps up its response to supporting the government’s efforts to maintain food supplies to the population.

The Call & Collect service offers over 6,000 products including bread, dairy, desserts, drinks, snacks, store cupboard items, fish & seafood, meat & poultry, frozen vegetables, ready meals and more.

Adam Collett, UK Marketing Director, SAID: ‘By launching this service we will be able to take some of the pressure off local supermarkets and, by offering the option to buy bigger packs, or in bulk, it reduces the number of shopping trips that people need to make, which in turn supports government advice on minimising social contact.’

Users simply browse the range of products available by visiting www.brake.co.uk/food-shop, make a note of the products they want, and the relevant codes, then place their order anytime between 9.00am and 4.00pm, Monday-Saturday, 10.00am to 4pm on Sunday. Payment is taken by card over the phone and then, once the order has been placed, users are given a unique order number and can collect their order next day (Monday-Friday) with a collection slot allocated anytime between 9.00am – 3.00pm. The Brakes ‘Food Shop’ is situated next door to Downtown/Boundary Mill near the A1 at Gonerby Moor roundabout.

To collect their order, users will need their unique order reference number, debit card used to place the order and car registration number. Directions and collection instructions for each site are available online at www.brake.co.uk/food-shop.

There is no minimum order requirement, however each order will be limited to a maximum value of £1,000 and users will not be able to order more than 10 of any particular product in order to ensure availability remains good for everyone.

In line with current government guidance Brakes primary objective is to protect members of the public, colleagues and suppliers so social distancing measures are in place upon collection.
