Tesco Ireland is launching its new rapid delivery service, Whoosh, in 2 Tesco Express stores in Cork City, giving shoppers the ability to order groceries and have them delivered across the city in 45 minutes, ideally, and subject to certain conditions.
The service will launch in Tesco Dennehys Cross Express on Monday, 8th September and Tesco St Finbarrs Express on Tuesday, 9th September.
The service is already underway in some Dublin stores.
Whoosh allows customers within a 4.5km radius of participating Tesco stores to order from a curated range of more than 3,000 products, including fresh fruit and vegetables, evening meals, everyday essentials like butter, milk and eggs, as well as selections from Tesco’s Finest range and alcohol.
The retailer plans to expand the scheme in the coming months, giving more shoppers access to the service.

According to the Tesco.ie website, “Whoosh is our rapid delivery service – we’ll aim to deliver from our store to your door from as little as 45 minutes. You can choose from a range of popular products, including fresh food, Meal Deals, everyday must-haves, baby essentials, household products, and much more.
Payment is taken at the time of checking out an order. If your final order is less than expected, or unavailable, we’ll refund you automatically, you don’t need to do anything. This should be with you in the next 3-5 working days and will be made to the card you paid with.
After you’ve placed your order, just check the Tesco Ireland Grocery & Clubcard app or the groceries home page to see your delivery updates. You will then see an estimate of when your delivery will be arriving. Estimated delivery times will vary based on your store and location.
As Whoosh orders are delivered from as little as 45 minutes, you can’t change or cancel your order after you’ve checked out.”
