Get your shopping done for you!

Over a year ago i read an article in the springwise.com newsletter, the story of a restaurant without a kitchen. The restaurant instead offered dishes available from the nearby fast-food restaurants. Going to this restaurant you had the opportunity to choose from a wide range, and going as a group not everybody has to settle fro pizza!!

In Aarhus a shoppingmal offers men the opportunity to get their Christmas shopping done for them, while they enjoy a cop of coffee reading the newspaper or just in general - Not shopping.

In a 2 min. talk with one of my colleagues we had talked up this idea.

Why not have a company / coffee shop offer this service, including all shops in downtown ??

Company's should of cause agree on being available through this coffee shop, where a multiple search tools should let the customers brows through all products from all shops - finding the best or just the right one each time.

The coffee shop would then go and get all the items from the different shops, for the customer to see, and possible choose. If chosen the items will be payed directly to the coffee shop, which in turn then pays each shop for the item.

A matter of trust between each shop and the coffee shop should of cause be established, because items will actually be taken out of their shops without paying ( some collateral should be given from the coffee shop to each shop)
