Dubai-based shopping malls operator Majid Al Futtaim Group has signed a first of its kind agreement with Egypt’s drive through app, Via Drive-Thru, facilitating delivery of pre-ordered items anywhere inside the former’s malls.
Visitors at any of Majid Al Futtaim’s properties can take advantage of the exclusive Via Drive-Thru service, by placing the order through the app and having it delivered to them anywhere inside the mall.
