friedas as an alternative to the Lebensmittelautomat

Are you looking for an alternative to the Lebensmittelautomat? friedas offers a walk-in 24/7 store with a broad range instead of a vending unit limited to a few products — flexible and suited to municipalities.

The challenge

Where the Lebensmittelautomat reaches its limits

  • The range is limited to a few products and compartments.
  • A fresh and chilled range is only possible to a limited extent.
  • Shopping there does not replace a complete weekly shop.
  • A vending unit is hardly suitable as a meeting place for the town.
The solution

What the walk-in store from friedas offers

  • A walk-in 24/7 store with a broad range adapted to the location.
  • A fresh and chilled range thanks to modern technology.
  • Scalable building types from container to store in existing premises.
  • A place that offers both supply and a meeting point.
Benefits

Strengths of friedas

  • Full range. More than a few products from a compartment.
  • Walk-in. A real shopping experience instead of vending-unit dispensing.
  • Flexible. Building type and range based on a location analysis.
  • Meeting place. The store revives the town, not just meets needs.
Village centre in a rural area

Who this is for

Municipalities and operators who want more than a vending unit and are looking for a full-fledged, walk-in local supplier.

Example application

A town has a Lebensmittelautomat that only partly covers demand. With friedas, a walk-in 24/7 store with a broad range, fresh goods and regional products is created, making the weekly shop possible on site.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does friedas differ from the Lebensmittelautomat?

friedas is a walk-in store with a broad range, whereas a vending unit only dispenses selected products. This allows friedas to enable a complete shop on site.

Can a vending unit be a sensible complement?

A vending unit can complement selectively, but does not replace a full-fledged local supplier. Whether a walk-in store is viable is shown by the location analysis.

Are there also fresh groceries in the store?

Yes. Modern refrigeration technology enables a range with fresh and chilled products, which a vending unit can only deliver to a limited extent.
