Last updated 12th Jan 2021
Deliveroo has said it'll be bringing it's services to King's Lynn along with around 100 other towns and cities across the UK.
It's expanding the takeaway delivery business following a surge in demand during the pandemic as people stayed home more and restaurants closed their doors.
The company says it plans to take that momentum into 2021 with an expansion strategy intended to reach another four million potential customers.
It's revealed it'll launch in a number of new regions including King's Lynn, Yeovil, Bangor (Northern Ireland), East Kilbride, Scarborough, Llanelli and Exmouth.
A full list of new service areas hasn't been released yet.
Deliveroo currently operates in around 200 locations.
Carlo Mocci, Deliveroo's chief business officer for UK and Ireland, said:
"We are pleased to announce that we expect to launch in around 100 new towns and cities across the UK and expand our reach in existing areas throughout 2021 with the aim of reaching almost two-thirds of the population.
"With further lockdown measures now in place across the UK, we want to do everything possible to help households get the food they need and want and play our role to make sure families across the country have a wide selection of amazing food, drink and household products to order in as little as 30 minutes.''
The company has also said it created work for an additional 25,000 riders last year, taking its number of riders to more than 50,000.
