The zero-dong mini supermarket stocks food items such as rice, eggs, cooking oil, instant noodles, fresh foods, vegetables, and medical supplies.
More than 200 families in Hiep Binh Phuoc benefit from it, with each household receiving three tickets worth 200,000 VND (8.7 USD) each to pick up goods from the store.
Set up by Phu Nhuan Jewelry (PNJ), it is open from 8am to 5pm every day, and people have to stagger their visits to ensure not too many people gather at a time amid the pandemic.
