Portuguese retailer Continente has launched its online service in Madeira, enabling shoppers in Funchal to purchase groceries online and have them delivered at their doorsteps.
Shoppers can also opt for free pick-up at the Click&Go point of the Continente Modelo de Viveiros store in São Roque.
The retailer's delivery service charges start from €6.99.
In August of this year, chief executive Luís Moutinho announced plans to open more outlets in the archipelago and remodel some existing stores with investments worth €7 million.
Pedro Santos, MC's e-commerce director, stated, "We have long believed in this channel (online), and as such, we have invested and will continue to do so to develop and modernise our digital value proposition, which includes a consistent integration with the physical propositions.
"With this arrival in Madeira, more than expanding a service and making life easier for Madeirans, we believe we reaffirm and make clear the importance that this region in growing development has for Continente."
