Many rural areas have hardly any local convenience stores left. This is also the case in Pettstadt in the district of Bamberg, which has around 2,000 inhabitants. Josefs nahkauf Box offers a solution to this: the first grab&go convenience store, providing food and other everyday items at almost any time of the day or night. With the pilot, REWE hopes to find a modern solution to the problem of the local supply of food and provisions to people living in rural areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Much excitement surrounding convenience store: in the Upper Franconian community of Pettstadt near Bamberg, REWE is piloting a new format under the name Josefs nahkauf Box, which aims to ensure a supply of fresh food and everyday products to the community of 2,000. The response to the opening was tremendous, with residents of the small town equally as excited by the new store as the nahkauf retailers and representatives from local councils and government. Many took the opportunity to make a spontaneous test purchase immediately after the opening.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With this pilot, we hope to find a modern solution to the problem of the local supply of food and provisions to people living in rural areas. In Germany alone, there are around 8,000 underserved residential areas where people have to travel very long distances to buy groceries every day. Our nahkauf convenience store format, which ensures a local supply in communities where all competitors have withdrawn, is ideal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n
