The largest retailer in Russia plans to improve delivery and to do this, create a network of dark stores, a warehouse of goods that only company employees and couriers can enter. To buy products, one needs to place an order, and the goods will be delivered to the specified address in a short time.
In the past years, the company tried to develop a delivery service, but the direction did not receive a suitable response from the buyers, so the work was suspended. The creation of dark stores will help Russians quickly get the ordered goods, which can potentially attract more customers. Also in such stores will be presented a wide range of products.
