Online supermarket picnic continues to develop in NRW ()

DÜSSELDORF (dpa-AFX) – The Dutch online supermarket Picnic wants to develop in North Rhine-Westphalia in the coming months

This announced the co-founder of Picnic Germany, Frédéric Knaudt, in conversation with the German news agency on. Until now, the Picnic offer is only available in Neuss, Kaarst, Meerbusch and parts of Düsseldorf. At the end of the year, two more regions are added, as Knaudt has announced. Which regions are, Knaudt remained open. From a logistic point of view, all of North Rhine-Westphalia is questioned

Picnic delivers goods ordered over the Internet by means of specially constructed electric trucks. Unlike many competitors such as Rewe.de, Amazon Fresh or Bringmeister, the company delivers but not on the desired date. Like the slag, Picnic electric trolleys drive the streets in their delivery area at certain times in the afternoons and evenings. And only at this daily change, the customer can receive the goods. This strategy is seen as a possible response to the problems of e-commerce by overcoming the high cost of food delivery./rea/DP/zb
