Drive-throughs are a common sight in fast-food joints and car washes, but come next year, the new Funan mall in North Bridge Road will also be providing a 24-hour service where you can drive up and collect items you have bought.

This "click-and-collect" system lets people pick up their online and in-store purchases through their car windows the way they would a fast-food meal - part of Funan's push to become "Singapore's first online-and-offline shopping mall".
