Para Ti literally means “for you” in Spanish, and that’s what this supermarket is about: it’s for you! Para Ti is a fully automated shop, open 24/7 (yup, that’s all night long as well), designed to make your life easier. No cash registers, no queues, and no large crowds… all you need is a smartphone!
The shop stocks fruit & veg, dairy products, baked goods, beer and so much more from 45 local suppliers. Everything is super fresh as it’s the producers themselves that restock the shelves. For example, if you pass by in the early morning you’re likely to come across the baker replenishing the delicious supply of fresh bread and viennoiseries on offer at Para Ti. If you try to avoid long food supply chains, then Para Ti is definitely the shop for you!
So how does it work? The set-up only takes a couple of minutes: just download the Para Ti app on your smartphone, register for an account, set up your payment method, and shop to your heart’s content! Scan a QR code to open the locked doors and sensors on the shelves let the app know what and how much you took. It’s as simple as that.
Stop by during your shopping trip on the outskirts of Bruges and buy a snack for the road. Top tip: don’t forget your zero waste picnic set, or grab a spoon in the freezer to have your ice cream on the go.
