Thank you jayinhongkong for a decent reply. Yes, the idea is a van or truck with limited but practical foods and items to visit areas far from the Plaza, and allow residents to make purchases. It is not a delivery service, as I titled it, but a mobile shopping extension. Park n Shop already makes delivery of purchases. Well, it was an idea, but I think it is not suitable for DB since most residents are from Europe, and that style of shopping is out of date, I suppose.

As long as the post is open, I hope some residents of DB give an opinion about a mobile shopping service. Who might use it? It could save a lot of time going to the Plaza for just a few things. And, I don't think every family living in DB have helpers who can go shopping for them. Still, I think having a truck/van stop on a regular schedule outside my building would save me time and money, and on cold and rainy days, make life a little easier.

I think it would be even cooler if it was an electric vehicle.
Cooler still if it had candy and snacks you couldn't get anywhere else in DB.

That's a lot of snacks to cover the $300 toll every time you enter Discovery bay, not to mention the commercial cat 2 licence you'll need, on top of whether you would legally be able to sell things like milk and bread.
The govt won't allow ice cream vendors to transfer their mobile vending permits onto anybody, so when they die, so does the mobile permit.
So, if the govt wont allow mobile ice cream vendors to operate in the future, why would they allow someone to sell milk bread or any food stuff from a van ?
Have you checked what the legal standing is regarding "mobile vending " of food stuffs ?

In reply to Skyhook, "Have you checked what the legal standing is regarding "mobile vending " of food stuffs ?"
You were correct: it is not allowed anywhere in Hong Kong. No mobile vending allowed. So the question is no longer valid, and there is no need to enter the poll.
It was a thought, but a bad thought.
