Local supply in Bayern
Bavaria is largely rural in character: between the Alpine region, the low mountain ranges and wide rural districts lie many places far from the nearest supermarket. There, friedas brings digital 24/7 local supply back.

Why Bayern benefits from digital local supply
Especially in the sparsely populated regions of Lower Bavaria, Upper Franconia and the Bavarian Forest, nearby shopping options have become rare. A digitally operated village store can close this gap economically.
In Bavaria, unstaffed stores up to 150 m² have been allowed to open every day around the clock since 1 August 2025 – including Sundays (DHBW, as of 2026). Here, friedas makes full use of its 24/7 concept.
