Little Caesars
Flytrex and Little Caesars are partnering to expand drone delivery with a new drone capable of delivering dinner for an entire family.
Powered by Flytrex’s new Sky2 drone, the service now enables customers to receive two large pizzas and sodas in a single delivery, pitched as a first for on-demand food delivery by air.
Sky2 makes this possible by carrying up to 8.8 pounds, the largest carrying capacity of any food delivery drone available today, those involved claim With a range of up to four miles and support for remote pickups directly from restaurant locations, the idea is that orders are collected faster and arrive hotter, arriving in an average of 4.5 minutes from takeoff to delivery.
“Flytrex is laser focused on making on-demand food delivery by drone a reality for everyday families,” says Amit Regev, CEO and Co-founder ar Flytrex. “A big part of advancing this market is making sure people can get the food they actually want, when they want it. Until now, drones simply weren’t capable of delivering a full family meal.”
“The Sky2 changes that. This partnership with Little Caesars expands what drone delivery can do and better meets customers’ expectations, which will drive real, lasting adoption of this technology.”
Superdrug
Hanshow has notched up a milestone in its digital store collaboration with Superdrug.
In a LinkedIn post, Hanshow said: “As Superdrug continues to strengthen execution and consistency across its store estate, in‑store digitalisation has become a key enabler. Through this partnership, we are supporting Superdrug with a scalable digital shelf infrastructure built on our ESLs.”
The roll-out is progressing in phases. As of 2025, 51 stores were live, with a further 90 locations planned for roll-out in 2026, including new store openings. Upon completion, the programme will span more than 1.7 million ESL units across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Beyond the shop floor, the solution also supports back of store…
