Pathao, partnering with Shwapno, has recently relaunched its instant grocery and essential goods delivery service, Tong.

Tong, an on-demand essential digital platform, is aimed to serve shoppers and customers, as in compliance with the latest directive from the Bangladesh government to stay indoors, according to a pathao press release.

Pathao with Shwapno, the countrys largest retail brand super shop chain has expanded its service nationwide by delivering a wide range of products including fresh groceries to daily necessities such as packaged drinks, food, dairy products, health and hygiene products, frozen food items, fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables.

There are 23 branches of Shwapno in Dhaka and two branches in Chittagong, which are currently associated with Pathao by initially clicking the food tile on the Pathao App, followed by opening the section which is labeled as Tong.
