Yes, there are services like Instacart, DoorDash, etc....but grocery is going to take this direct and cut out the delivery middlemen.
Some will succeed and some will fail, but nearly all will try to get a piece of it.
Amazon did not buy Whole Foods for fun.
Yup. Though the Instacarts and DoorDashes of the world will still have a role with smaller stores that can’t afford large delivery fleets or in areas the fleets won’t serve.
Local grocery chain, Hy Vee, does that.
Husband of my wife’s friend is a manager. He says it impacts sales negatively, in that people often go on for a list of things and buy more than they planed on. However, they want to be placed in the market so as to compete with Amazon when they come.
I love it, wife hates it. She is a gatherer, and says it is cheating to just buy online.
