Futuristic shopping
“Glupschi” and “Gloggi” shake up the supermarket
Recently, the staff at the Billa supermarket in Gloggnitz have been assisted by two robots. One cleans all day, the other shows customers the latest offers, guides them to the products they want and can even dance - which is particularly popular with the children.
Two years ago, Marko Miskovic was the first private businessman in Austria to take over a Billa store. Now he is the first to employ two robots in his store in Gloggnitz, Lower Austria. They are called "Gloggi" and "Glupschi". One cleans, the other dances. And the customers are delighted. Especially "Gloggi". He shows customers the latest promotions and even takes them personally to the items they are looking for. He has over 150 products stored for this purpose. He kindly warns people standing in his way: "Please make way for me, I can't get through."
"Gloggi" can dance, but he also gets tired and grunts
The highlight, especially for children: "Gloggi" can also dance at the touch of a button. But unfortunately not forever. On the third attempt, you can hear a slightly annoyed robot grumbling: "Come on, I've got work to do, I can't dance all the time!" But he always has free fruit and sweets for the children.
Miskovic is always on the lookout for creative ideas for his market. Born in Bosnia, he came to Austria at the age of three, started his apprenticeship at Merkur in 2003 and became Austria's youngest store manager in 2011. And in 2022, he received a request from the REWE Group to take over the Billa store in Gloggnitz. This involved moving from Vienna to the small town of Enzenreith. Something he has never regretted.
