Florida-based Farm Stores intends to open up to 50 drive-through convenience store locations in southern Arizona, starting with Tucson.

With dual lanes, customers can pull up and place an order or pre-order online and have groceries placed in their cars upon arrival.

Whether you’re driving home from work and need fresh bread for today’s dinner or milk for tomorrow’s breakfast, a new drive-through convenience store is there for you.

Florida-based Farm Stores plans to open up to 50 locations in southern Arizona, starting with Tucson.

Negotiations are ongoing for vacant land in the northwest of the city that will be the first location in Arizona for the 400-square-foot store, made from recycled shipping containers and painted like a barn. The new location is scheduled to open at the beginning of next year.

With double lanes, customers can drive up and place an order or order in advance using the mobile app and have groceries placed in their car upon arrival.

“Assuming you make pancakes on Sunday morning and discover that you have no syrup, you can get in the car, in your Jammies and pick it up,” said Livia Almandos, who is from southern Arizona with her husband Carlos .

The shops are stocked with basic groceries such as milk, butter, cereals and juices. They also bake bread and pastries on site. There is no shopping in the store.

“We’re not going to replace the weekly trip to the grocery stores,” said Carlos. “We’re there for someone who comes home with a cart full of children and realizes that he has run out of eggs or wants fresh bread because it’s pasta night.”
