Number of Drive services in France 2019, by type of service

With the rise of information and communication technologies, the Drive has been extended to services other than catering (drive-thru), in particular due to mass distribution, and is experiencing a substantial development in France. Thus, in 2019, the source had identified more than five thousand Drive services. Of these Drives, there were more than three thousand so-called Attached Drives, where the product collection can directly be brought to one's car trunk. The Solo Drives ("entrepôt solo"), which are independent storage and pick-up points, generally located near major traffic routes in order to gain additional market share, had about 484 reference points in France. Regarding the classic Click & Collect locations, where the customer is able to pick up items in the store itself, about 76 were recorded. Finally, the pedestrian Drive had about 28 locations which is, just like the Drive, a pick up location for groceries but accessible by foot.
