Lifvs

Lifvs is a food-tech startup based in Sweden, known for operating the largest chain of unstaffed, 24/7 digital grocery stores in Europe.

Founded in 2018 by Daniel Lundh and Bea Garcia, the company aims to restore grocery access to rural communities that have lost traditional supermarkets. Lifvs has expanded to 27 outlets across Sweden, with plans to double this number through franchise agreements. The stores are compact, shipping container-like structures that stock around 500 essential products, including fresh produce, dairy, and meat. Customers access the stores using the Lifvs mobile app, which allows for contact-free entry and payment. The stores utilize AI for inventory management and automated billing, ensuring efficient operations without on-site staff. Lifvs focuses on providing convenience and lower prices compared to traditional convenience stores, making it a valuable resource for residents in sparsely populated areas.
