Why Mecklenburg-Vorpommern benefits from digital local supply
Large distances and low footfall make traditional markets difficult. Smart-store technology lowers operating costs and makes local supply viable.
In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, “micro-supermarkets” without personal customer contact have been allowed to open on Sundays too since 1 February 2024 (DHBW, as of 2026). This fits perfectly with friedas's 24/7 concept.
