Thanks to the existing equipment, it is possible to sell various groups of goods, including frozen and refrigerated products, while respecting the product proximity, as well as providing a sufficiently wide range of goods (bakery and confectionery products, dairy and
MEAT products, groceries, soft drinks, fruits and vegetables,
etc. ), which will ensure its availability throughout the entire route,” explained the main department.

In the summer season, the schedules of the generated routes are adjusted taking into account gardening partnerships,” - noted at the headquarters.
