Why Baden-Württemberg benefits from digital local supply
In the rural parts of the state, supply routes are often long. Smart-store technology and a regional range make local supply viable even in smaller places.
In Baden-Württemberg, Sunday and public-holiday opening of unstaffed micro-stores up to 150 m² (everyday goods) has been permitted since 28 February 2026 – except on major holidays such as Good Friday and Christmas Day (DHBW, as of 2026). This way friedas can provide supply here at the weekend too.
