The future is Amazon, ground package delivery, and fresh food retail. That’s pretty much it in retail.
Actually fresh food retail is facing some serious competition from places like Homechef.
I think Fresh Food retail is going to change dramatically.
I have not bought groceries at a store in 6 months.
I use Shipt.
For 99 bucks a year, I can have a personal shopper do all my shopping for me. I’ve used the same woman repeatedly and she now knows that if Item A is out of stock, Item B is acceptable.
This begs the question, if this expands, wouldn’t it make more sense for HEB and Kroger to have one large centralized store in an area than one for each neighborhood. If 50 percent of the people in a store are “professionals” who have the layout and prices memorized and have coolers in their trunk, why does it matter if the store is 15 minutes or 5 minutes away. Reduce your footprint, shorten your supply chain, and lower prices.
Seriously, I there is a Kroger 5 minutes from me to the west, 7 minutes from me to the east and 10 minute from to the North. I assume there is one 15 minutes from me to the South, but I rarely go that direction and don’t know the neighborhood.
