My name is Michiel Muller. I'm one of the founders of Picnic,
and we bring all your groceries for the lowest price free to your door.
Apart from the fact that we have a 100% electrical fleet and we have no food waste,
it's also the local farmers, the local produce that people are really interested in.
And we, through our whole system, allow them to sell their products to our customers.
And people just love it.
The last mile is the most important part that we have in terms of efficiencies,
and we've introduced a milkman model and for that we need
these little city hub type locations close to where people live.
The search always starts, of course, with
Where would you like to have the location?
The features that are very important in our type of buildings,
are being close to neighborhoods and at a good price,
but also having existing buildings, which makes the business more sustainable.
Not building new ones, but using existing ones is also an important factor.
That's the place where all our electrical vans depart from.
So it needs to be nice,
but it also needs to be very efficient in terms of operations.
For our local communities it means labor, we need quite a lot of people to drive our little vans.
Finding the right buildings, finding the right owners is really important for us.
I think what you see in the asset class of last mile logistics that you have a lot of private owners.
So having a company as Mileway, being more professional really helps us in our business.
