I first started writing about the concept of mobile stores in 2010. I coined the phrase, “Hail a store” because I thought consumers should be able to access groceries and other products as easily as hailing an Uber. When I wrote an article about Robomart, many people commented that, “It will never happen. It’s too small. There’s no market for a mobile store.” I ignored the comments.

We are going to witness all kinds of innovation in retail in just a few short years. Consumers will be soon be able to hail mobile stores; mobile pharmacies; mobile eye clinics; mobile health clinics; mobile Starbucks; and so on. The possibilities are endless.

Robomart recently unveiled their new vehicle. The company has made tremendous progress. You can learn more about Robomart here: https://robomart.ai/
