Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Dubai launches sail-thru supermarket for yacht owners
If there are a number of drive-through shops, banks, and restaurants, why not a sail-through grocery shop? That’s the concept of this new floating retail emporium in Dubai operated by a local franchise of French supermarket Carrefour. Expected shoppers aren’t limited to sailors, jet skiers, or boat rowers in the water but also include swimmers, suffers or beachgoers on the beach. They can stop by this floating grocery shop to get drinks, snacks or suntan lotions, or call them or use the app to get the grocery delivered.
Though the local grocery chain claims that this is the first of this kind, there are hundreds of floating marketplaces in Thailand and Vietnam that sell daily necessities for nearby residents and tourists.
Enjoy reading and think how long this sail-thru grocery store will float in the water.
