24/7 shop concepts from Wanzl

Shop concepts for 24/7 stores from Wanzl enable consumers to shop for everyday products around the clock. Store operators thus benefit from new sales opportunities and can permanently retain existing customer groups as well as attract new ones.

Whether they are located at infrastructure hubs such as train stations or airports, in rural or specific urban regions, in residential and commercial areas or in office districts: these fast and reliable supply points for food, fashion and lifestyle products can be implemented in a variety of ways. They can even be used to supply products required by skilled crafts and tradespeople.

A wide range of options

Advantages of Wanzl's 24/7 shop concepts

Wanzl's 24/7 shop concepts enable operators to expand existing, traditionally run shops on a hybrid basis. Brand new formats, such as 24/7 mobile stores, can also be implemented without any additional effort required.

How you can benefit from these flexible shop concepts:

Lower personnel costs with continuous operating hours

Increased sales and improved profit margin

Easy extension of opening hours 

More effective utilisation of capacity in low-footfall periods

Ideal opportunity to tackle acute staff shortages in the retail sector

Shopping around the clock

The concept of a digitised store space

Innovative 24/7 stores allow for autonomous shopping around the clock. With our digital shop concept, you can offer your customers this service with no limitations. All steps can be transacted automatically on request and without any additional effort required of personnel – from access to the store to self-scanning of products via a smartphone or at the checkout at the exit. Of course, at Wanzl, we ensure that all processes are synced with the processes in place at your business.

By the way: The 24/7 shop concept can be integrated into

  • Existing stores,
  • New construction projects, and
  • Space-saving, mobile container solutions

alike and implemented efficiently.
