Personally I'm a lousy businessman but I don't
see why this (deliveries by businesses) can't work
again. You trade the huge expense of massive square
footage and blocks of coolers and racks for the
expense of order pickers and delivery people. Also
keep a little store front operation going for
convenience.

We're almost there - Simon Delivers, a local startup,
is a great way to have quality groceries delivered to
your doorstep; price comparisons show that they are in
line with Cub and Rainbow, and that the quality of
their meat and produce is comparable. The only
barrier (it's big) is that it is on-line ordering at
www.simondelivers.com. If Simon Delivers could be
persuaded to take phone orders, a huge segment of
underserved consumers would benefit, and would have
options other than the so-called "Hood Stores".
