AI-generated TLDR: In recent years thousands of small groceries and pubs have closed, leaving some settlements with only a token shop‑pub or no store at all, so people increasingly depend on commuting, municipal buses and smaller mobile vendors for everyday goods. The article argues that although mobile shops make life easier, they also speed up the decline of traditional village shops and community spaces, meaning Hungary is fixing a rural access problem in a way that feels like moving backward rather than building a sustainable local retail system.
Lidl should deploy these vans into Slovakia’s “food deserts” as well.
That’s quite primitive. You would expect that in the age of AI an autonomous vehicle will just deliver you the goods you order oneline without unnecessary human intervention.
We have these owned by private persons in Lithuania. Crazy to see LIDL doing this
Where small stores can compete with markets?
Small stores are usually very expensive even in rural parts of France they charge double or triple the price of a bigger supermarket (sometimes even 5 times more). They only have themselves to blame if they go out of business by being greedy.
Without these supermarkets, most of Europe wouldn’t be able to afford food at all.
Tell me one country in the EU where shops not owned by chains still have success. This has nothing to do with Orban, the same happened for example in Romania too. The moment the chains started to get to the smaller cities (or like in this case, mobile), the family owned shops couldn’t compete. Same happened in the west ages ago.
This is very common in Eastern Europe. The small rural towns with less than 100 people have store vans that drive out and sell them things.
Didn’t know Lidl has Mobil stores. But I guess makes sense in some areas.
Thats honestly not a bad solution imo.
In Sweden (and I guess) other countries it starts to come non-staff stores, you open and pay with your mobile. Small privately owned stores in tiny villages. But these food trucks might be a better way for older people.
And the funniest part is that some of those poor fuckers or the picture vote for fidesz anyway xd
And yet they will vote him and somehow it’s Brussel’s fault
vote orban for that true soviet experience!!!!
What do you mean no longer? Auto stores have been a thing for ever. Inflation and price gaps have nothing to do with it, its the size of the village, a small one doesnt justify a permanent store, there are just not enough people. But a traveling store can serve many small villages. I bet there were traveling merchants pushing carts around right after the wheel was invented, the concept is that old.
That’s the “amazing” Hungary that some far-right identitarians across the world were praising not even 2 years ago.
That’s sad, classic capitalism practices.
A pop up Lidl shop is wild
