Mirvac Retail has unveiled new shopping experiences across its centres in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.
‘Essentials Express’ is an online marketplace and contactless drive-thru pick-up service, enabling customers to ‘click and collect’ a wide range of popular everyday items.
The Essentials Express has started operating at Moonee Ponds Central (MPC) in Melbourne where shoppers can order from a range of local retailers.
In addition, customers can pay online and receive contactless pick-up in a dedicated drive-thru location at the centre from Tuesday to Thursday.
Essentials Express brings together a bespoke technology solution with MPC retailers and their product, with concept to delivery was accelerated to just one week.
Mirvac’s Kelly Miller said key to this has been retailers’ willingness to be involved.
“Importantly, it is our opportunity to support smaller and locally loved retailers who may not have the scale and resources traditionally to adapt their operating models and implement these type of technology solutions,” Miller said.
The online marketplace will activate within the next fortnight across centres in New South Wales (Rhodes Waterside and East Village) and within the month in Brisbane (Toombul and Orion Springfield Central).
