Amy Heather, Just Eat UK Strategic Accounts Director says: “At Just Eat, we’re always looking for new ways to support the busy lives of our customers, offering what they want, whenever they need it. Our latest partnership with Pop Specs is a strong example of how Just Eat can work with retailers to enable everyday convenience through rapid, on-demand delivery. By leveraging our extensive delivery network and platform, we’re looking forward to bringing the same level of convenience to our customers shopping for prescription eyewear as we do for those ordering food.”

Daniel Barnes, Founder of Pop Specs adds: “We are incredibly proud to be partnering with Just Eat. As the biggest food delivery company in the UK, Just Eat has changed the way people order takeaways and groceries, with delivery in less than 30 minutes. Pop Specs has been doing the same within the eyewear industry by providing customers a unique eyewear experience, with the spectacles being prescription ready in just 20 minutes. Now, working with Just Eat, we’re able to expand our offer to reach customers at home – which means if you can’t get to Pop Specs, Pop Specs will come to you.”

The partnership with Pop Specs, as seen on Dragons Den, marks a significant move for Just Eat into non-food retail, showing the potential of rapid, online delivery in connecting innovative high-street businesses with customers online.
