Littlewoods puts Net in small shops
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LITTLEWOODS, THE high street retailer, is linking up with the convenience store group T&S Stores to bring Internet retailing to the corner shop.
Littlewoods will install computer terminals in six T&S stores early next year as part of a trial that will see the shops act as ordering and collection points. Customers will be able to choose from the 7,000 items available on Littlewoods' new Index website, which is launched today. They will also be able to order from the Index catalogue and have the goods delivered to their homes or their local store.
The deal is part of a plan by Littlewoods to offer shoppers the option of buying from shops, catalogues, interactive television and the Internet. T&S Stores has 1,200 outlets, including 800 convenience stores trading under the One Stop and Dillons names. T&S is gradually converting all its convenience stores to the One Stop format, which open for up to 14 hours a day. It hopes the trial will increase customer footfall, enabling the stores to build increased sales.
