Drive-through shopping is taking off across Melbourne.

The game-changer from Woolworths has been rolled out in a number of their Victorian stores, making it easier than ever to pick up your groceries.

Instead of battling it out for a car park, or even having to leave your vehicle, it’s now possible to have it all handed to you without switching off the engine.

Like the regular pick-up or delivery method, customers can order their shopping through Woolworths’ app.

Just put in when you want to collect your groceries, drive to the designated pick-up area, then a Woolworths employee will bring everything straight to your car. Simple.

The convenient drive-through option is already available at a number of Woolworth’s Melbourne supermarkets including Brunswick, Camberwell, Williamstown, Preston, Heidelberg and Greensborough.

Woolworths confirmed with the Herald Sun today that its Lilydale store will soon implement drive-through.

A Woolworths spokesperson said drive-through options are set up at dozens of stores across Australia, with more to come.

“At Woolworths we’re always looking for ways to make shopping easier for our customers and our Pick Up and Drive Thru collections are another way we are able to do just that.

It comes as Woolworths last month launched a crackdown on thieves rorting its self-serve check-outs.

The supermarket giant has turned on weigh scales at the machines’ bagging areas to catch out those deliberately or mistakenly snaring products they haven’t paid for.
