Ever heard of Uber Eats? They deliver foods & goods from local brick & mortar restaurants & stores. Competing in the delivery business & e-commerce is a reality every business must face now. Kroger’s business model of delivery-only groceries is not one which every retailer or grocer can or should try to duplicate. As consumers change to eating fresher foods, perishable items will cause more waste & unhappy customers IMO
