Unmanned food store opens in Sweden

It was a chaotic, late-night scramble to buy baby food, with a screaming toddler in the backseat, that gave Robert Ilijason the idea to open Sweden’s first unmanned convenience store.

Home alone with his hungry son, Ilijason had dropped the last baby-food jar on the floor.

He had to drive 20 minutes from the small town of Viken, in southern Sweden, to find a supermarket that was open.
