Actually fresh food retail is facing some serious competition from places like Homechef.

I've seen some grocery stores that have carry out restaurant food. You name it, they have it. It is already cooked. Just heat it up when you get home. There is a pretty good markup on the food, but it is much cheaper than going to a restaurant if your in a hurry or don't like to cook. These are in upscale neighborhoods.

Wegman’s take out dinners are delicious——good size servings and in my case does me for 2 meals.

Some variation of that’s been around for a while. 15 years ago our local Safeway had Thanksgiving in a box, all the parts heat and serve. It’s been ramping up lately, probably because take and bake not quite restaurants have been on the rise (like Papa Murphy’s pizza), renewing interest in that market. Websites like Homechef do that one better, pick your menu for the week, get all the parts in the mail. There’s even one where you can get the equipment, I was jealous that didn’t exist when I was first establishing a home, great way to get kitchen utensils you need as you learn you need them.
