The concept goes this way....the grocery chain....Aldi....does research and determines areas where a small 'mini' shop would make sense.
My description? It's about 3 meters by 12 meters in size, and probably has around 180 different grocery items on the shelves.
It's the kind of shop I'd put next to a small train station or a bus stop. You swipe your credit card to enter.....pick up what amounts to your snacks for the day, or some 'quickie' meal for the evening.
I haven't personally been in one, so I can't say if they have booze or beer on the shelf.
It's certainly not a real grocery, and it's the kind of place where you'd only stop on your way to work or returning home.
The nifty thing? It's open 24 hours a day....and unmanned.
If it came to my village....it'd probably be a success....but we have no space at any of the four bus-stops in the village.
Right now....it's probably in the couple of dozen around Germany, and still more of an experiment. In ten years? I expect several thousand to exist.
