Virus outbreak accelerates delivery, drive-through service

Major shopping malls and supermarkets have started delivery and drive-through service, catering to customers who prefer to stay home or not wanting to get out of their cars as the Covid-19 outbreak continues.

Tops Supermarket of Central Food Retail Group recently launched Tops Drive Thru, a new service to allow customers to shop on its website, drive to the delivery locations and pick up their orders without getting out of their vehicles.
The first Tops Drive Thru is now in operation at Central Plaza Chaengwattana, before expanding to 17 other branches. Consumers can shop conveniently in just four steps:

1) Shop at www.tops.co.th.

2) Choose Click & Collect/Drive-Thru.

3) Choose the location customers want to pick the items, starting with the first at Central Plaza Chaengwattana from March 25.

4) Pick up items safely and conveniently without getting out of the car. Staff will prepare products to be collected in advance.
