A patent has been filed for a supermarket concept called ‘Drive Market’ by its Russian owner. This concept supermarket looks very useful for time-strapped shoppers who dread having to traverse the whole area of a large supermarket to make a small order. 

Enter ‘Drive Market’, a solution where you can drive in as if you were at a gas station and drive alongside shelves that rotate to enable you to browse the inventory. Upon finding a product or product to purchase, you place them on the conveyor belt below the product’s shelf which then transports each item to a cashier who packs your order and takes payment in a similar fashion to a fast-food drive-in. A typical order can take less than five minutes to complete and you don’t vacate the car which means no parking hassles…

Above the shopping area is a floor where the supply warehouse is located. Products are replenished by workers who feed them into shelves that represent their counterpart shelf in the store below and report on their empty/full status. The products are taken by conveyor belt again to their corresponding shelf for restocking.

The store would be set up just like a gas station. The whole inventory of the shop is maintained by workers on a separate floor in real-time. The inventories are maintained by a high-tech ventilation system that sucks up the exhaust to keep the air clean.
