Well theoretically you are right but practically speaking even amazon couldn’t really change distance. The whole allure of shipping things from a warehouse and not paying rent is true but at the end of the day amazon ended up setting warehouses all over the country to meet the demand for same day delivery. So it did reduce the real estate costs but it’s still has to stock all items close to the customer. So the efficiency is in cutting display and showroom costs. Food doesn’t fall under that category as it’s very different even from perishable grocery items. That is the source of skepticism. I agree there is demand but it only means that the business will never die, doesn’t mean that it’s going to overhaul the industry. Let’s see though. I do hope some innovative idea comes along.
