myEnso - the digital corner shop

The big advantage of corner stores: thanks to their digital infrastructure, customers can shop here not only during regular opening hours, but also at any time of day or night thanks to chip card access and self-service checkouts.
In 2019, a new kind of village store opened in the small town of Blender in Lower Saxony with just under 3,000 inhabitants: doors opened by chip card and 2,500 products on the shelves. This was the test run for a concept that is set to revolutionize local supply in rural areas. Because if 300 villagers invest 100 euros each, a village store can be run. This is the idea of the Bremen-based company myEnso, which takes care of equipment, goods management and delivery.
