“Every day we have a new record, every day we operate literally on the edge of capacity. But at the same time we manage to drive on time and we are fully supplied. So it is true that whoever wants to buy on the Basket will buy it and we will further increase the capacity. At the same time, Christmas shopping is already starting for us. We have already launched a purely Christmas offer, which further raises the already high interest. This Christmas, we expect to break another of the records, “said Tomáš Jeřábek, director of Košík.cz, to Práva.

They are building new warehouses
Its competitor, Rohlik.cz, even started building new warehouses to meet customer interest. “During the spring pandemic, the demand for online food purchases in our country increased so much that we doubled in terms of the number of clients served. There was a slight decline during the summer, but during October, customer interest increased again. We therefore opened a second warehouse for Prague, increasing our capacity for the capital and adjacent regions by 50 percent. And we are able to satisfy customer demand without restriction, with delivery within two hours of ordering. At the same time, we are moving the warehouse in Brno to larger premises, “said Zdeněk Svoboda Kuhnová, a spokeswoman for Rohliku.cz, to the editorial board.
