The mobile mini supermarket is a new model implemented by the Grove Fresh fruit and vegetable chain in collaboration with the City Department of Industry and Trade. Each day, the supermarket will operate at a different location arranged by the Department of Industry and Trade, usually far from markets and supermarkets. This mini supermarket will operate from 9am to 4pm, providing fresh meat, vegetables, fruits and many other necessities.

Previously on August 7, the supermarket stopped at 33 Chuong Duong Street (Linh Chieu Ward, Thu Duc City). In just one morning, the supermarket provided more than 100 kg of various meats and more than 400 kg of vegetables and fruits to the local people.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoan (Linh Chieu Ward, Thu Duc City) said that the first time she bought things at a mobile mini supermarket, she was very surprised because the prices were stable and the vegetables were very fresh. "Today when I went to the supermarket, I planned to just buy meat and then go home, but when I got there, I saw that the vegetables and fruits were very fresh, so I bought a lot more. Here I found many kinds of fresh vegetables at reasonable prices. I was very satisfied with this supermarket," Ms. Ngoan shared.

Grove Fresh representative said that to ensure safety, each shopping trip will have about 2-3 customers boarding the bus from the front door, shopping one way and exiting through the back door. In addition, each bus is also equipped with a sanitizing lamp for customers right at the entrance.
This unit said that it has removed the seats on the bus, installed shelves, creating a new, convenient mobile supermarket with a full range of goods. At the same time, each type of vegetable and fruit will be packaged for customers to easily choose quickly.
