LONDON – British online grocer Ocado and U.S. supermarket chain Kroger Co have agreed service and operational terms in relation to the deal they struck in May.
As a result of the deal, Ocado will ratchet up its delivery business with the construction of robotically operated warehouses, upping the ante in the battle with Amazon.com Inc .
Ocado said on Tuesday the agreement includes how Kroger will order warehouses, or what Ocado calls Customer Fulfilment Centres (CFCs), and the basis on which Ocado will develop and operate those sites in the United States.
