Card Factory has partnered with Just Eat to offer a rapid delivery service for greetings cards and celebration essentials nationwide.
The tie-up has gone live in 19 of the retailer’s stores across the UK, including Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, London, Belfast and Cardiff, and will be extended to an additional 21 shops later this year.
The move means customers will be able to shop from over 200 affordable Card Factory products, including greeting cards, candles, balloons, gift bags, key rings, confectionery and stationery.
Card Factory executive digital director Sam Davies said: “Celebrating life’s moments is an important part of the way we live, so we want customers to be able to interact with us in whichever way they choose, whether that’s in store, online, or through one of our partners.
