TESCO, the largest retail chain in UK has thrown open to public its drive through supermarket. People who place orders online can pick up their goods sitting from their car from this facility of the supermarket. This is the first of its kind in Britain.

The retailer believes that the buyers who would not be able to stick to a fixed time for collecting their deliveries at home will find this option convenient to them. Still the users of this facility have to book a time slot to pick up their goods.

The consumers would have to pay a fixed charge of £2 for utilising this facility and it looks less costly when compared to the rate of £2 and onwards that one has to pay for getting goods delivered at home by TESCO.

The personnel engaged by TESCO would load the goods purchased online by the buyers in to their car at a particular slot in the supermarket earmarked for this purpose.

The Tesco Extra store in Hertfordshire's Baldock area would be the first store where this new concept would be introduced in a test basis by the retail chain leader. The format would be then introduced in all its stores in the rest of the country provided it succeeds on its test run; however time limit for such vast scale opening out is not yet set.

The Cheif Executive of TESCO Direct and TESCO. com, Laura Wade-Gery said that this concept would be well-liked by all the mothers who are always time bound with their daily chores of kids school assignments and pick up and drop.

She added that this would be a perfect option for those mothers who could not wait for the home delivery to be done at the same time cannot go through the struggle of wading through the supermarket with their kids tagged along.
