An estimated 7 million people are “retail deprived” in Japan. Throughout the country, mobile supermarkets have been developed to offer a large range of products, from daily produces, snacks, health supplies and batteries in remote, underpopulated areas.
This primary service can be a lifesaver for many older people with reduced mobility who are not able to shop for themselves.
Apart from providing inhabitants with food and essential products, this service also helps reduce loneliness in creating social interactions.
