Online grocery provider Supie is looking to open high-technology unmanned stores which will be open 24 hours daily.
The online alternative supermarket has been running for two years and delivers to Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Rotorua.
The plan is for an app to unlock the door of the store when a customer enters, with cameras picking up the items you take and the app charging your card at the end.
Founder Sarah Balle says the stores will be community based.
"Making it super easy so that you don't have to drive into town or to a city to access products that you'd normally shop in your top-up shop."
