The cars that were taken off the road are from the same series as the burned-down vehicles, a Picnic spokesperson confirmed after reporting by the NRC. The supermarket fears that it will have to cancel the order of several thousand customers, now that the trolleys are temporarily not running anyway.
Cause of fire
According to the spokesman, the “certain for the uncertain” is taken. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The fire destroyed the distribution location in Almelo. That is why Picnic already has to disappoint thousands of customers. The services around Almelo must be restarted from a new location. It will certainly take a few weeks before this is arranged.
