Expansion of Tiroler MPreis stores' network announced
Food retailer MPreis strengthens ties with Austrian Post, offering postal and financial services at 14 branches across Tyrol, with an additional 60 pick-up stations available.
In a strategic partnership, MPreis has integrated postal services into 14 of its supermarket branches, providing customers with added convenience by allowing them to handle post and financial transactions under one roof. Furthermore, 60 locations have been equipped with post stations, enabling round-the-clock package pick-ups. According to those in charge, this collaboration will shorten the distance to the nearest post office and bolster MPreis's status as a "local supplier."
The cooperation, though not yet fully developed, will reportedly see more branches joining the program in the future, as both parties stand to benefit significantly from this alliance. However, the timeline for the full expansion remains uncertain as post stations still require setup and approval, Alois Mondschein, Head of Central Post Partner Management at Austrian Post AG, stated at a press conference in Innsbruck.
Since June, MPreis has worked towards transforming into a "multifunctional local supplier." According to MPreis CEO Ingo Panknin, this venture aims to bridge the gap between dwindling resources, especially time, and offer value-added services to customers. MPreis CEO David Mölk echoes this sentiment, suggesting that the partnership serves as a crucial stepping stone for the food retailer as an economic operator.
Additionally, Innsbruck's mayor, Johannes Anzengruber, views the MPreis-post office partnership as a response to popular demand. The initiative reportedly addresses the needs of the districts and has successfully filled a gap in the Olympic Village. The city chief anticipates that further collaborations will result in benefits for Tyrol's capital city inhabitants.
Further information suggests that MPreis is currently involved in initiatives focused on green energy and sustainable transport in Austria. However, specific details on potential expansions of their services or infrastructure are yet to be announced through official channels or press releases. For the most accurate information, it is recommended to visit MPreis's official website or contact their customer service directly.
The integration of postal services into MPreis branches marks the beginning of their transformation into a "multifunctional local supplier," offering customers added convenience by merging post and financial transactions under one roof. With the addition of post stations, 60 locations now provide round-the-clock package pick-ups, further narrowing the distance to the nearest post office and promoting MPreis as a local supplier.
