24/7 supermarket

The 24/7 supermarket for your town

Shopping whenever it suits — early, late or at the weekend. A 24/7 supermarket from friedas makes this possible even in small towns, without staff having to be on site at all times.

The challenge

Fixed shop hours no longer fit everyday life

  • Working people and commuters can barely reach shops in time anymore.
  • Where markets exist, opening hours are often short.
  • Continuous staffing is expensive and hard to organise.
  • Spontaneous needs in the evening or on Sunday remain unmet.
The solution

Supplied around the clock — economically implemented

  • Access and payment technology enables shopping outside service hours.
  • During defined service hours, staff are additionally on site.
  • Modern refrigeration and security technology keeps operation reliable.
  • The range covers daily needs, not just snacks.
Benefits

Advantages of a 24/7 supermarket

  • Always available. Supply adapts to everyday life, not the other way around.
  • Economical. Long opening hours without continuous staffing costs.
  • Secure. Proven access, checkout and security technology.
  • Versatile. Building types from the container store to the store in existing premises.
Village centre in a rural area

Who this is for

Municipalities and operators who want to supply their town independently of conventional shop opening hours — from the commuter to the older neighbourhood.

Example application

In a district without a shop, a 24/7 smart store is created: during the day with service, outside service hours via digital access. Commuters shop in the evening, families at the weekend — supply is no longer tied to fixed shop hours.
