Publix, a regional chain that OWNS the South East and was recently ranked by Consumer Reports as the most loved grocery store in the US, is already doing this.

Publix, a regional chain that OWNS the South East and was recently ranked by Consumer Reports as the most loved grocery store in the US, is already doing this. They don't advertise it very well, but they started offering it a few weeks ago. EDIT: including some extra deets about their size (since that was your primary argument against it happening) -> $34B in Revenue (2016), Operating Income $2.94B (2016), Assets of $17.46B, and 200,000+ employees.

... and privately owned. Which helps a lot in this case. That said, if they are successful at duplicating the Blue Apron model effectively then I expect that would be sufficient "proof" for the shareholder driven grocery chains.

Hm. Publix has their stuff together then. They will make for tough competition. Quite solid in price/friendliness/quality.
