LONDON - 11 October 2017 – Amazon today announced that grocery products from Booths, the award-winning grocer with 28 stores across the North of England, are now available on AmazonFresh. This is the first time a comprehensive selection of Booths’ groceries have been made available to customers online. AmazonFresh customers are now able to enjoy a fantastic selection of ready meals, cheeses and deli products amongst hundreds of other Booths products.

Founded in 1847, Booths is a family owned and run business with a strong heritage in fresh food. Each Booths store has its own unique identity and the company is universally committed to offering its customers a first class shopping experience. It offers a wide range of groceries and is proud of its unwavering commitment to quality. The grocer recently won Decanter magazine’s coveted Supermarket of the Year award, 16 Gold International Cheese Awards for their Booths brand cheeses and six Great Taste Awards for their range of handmade ready meals and puddings.

“We know customers love high quality ready meals, delicatessen and produce, and with Booths’ rich history and well-deserved reputation for providing the very best food, we think people across London and the South East will love what Booths has to offer,” said Ajay Kavan, Vice President, AmazonFresh International. “Our customers tell us they look for choice, value and convenience from AmazonFresh. That’s why we’ve added Booths to our great selection of products from Morrisons and Whole Foods Market as well as local shops and big name brands, brought together with same day delivery and the everyday low prices that Amazon is known for.”

“Booths has always been a Northern secret, but now our range of exceptional products will be available every day to a wide range of shoppers,” said Edwin Booth, Chairman and CEO of Booths.“This is good news for everyone. It’s a win for Booths, as we have wider reach for our products and it’s a win for the customer who can now have a taste of Booths country delivered to their doorstep.”
