Thoughtful responses. I am looking at this from a very UK perspective, so much of what I've said maybe (and indeed sounds like it is) not relevant to the US. Over here UK supermarkets have matured their online businesses very well. It's no more expensive than in-store and delivery is free to cheap depending on how narrow a delievry window you can handle. Plus of course the US is much larger geographically and much more car-focused, so it might be a much more viable business model.
Either way - it's a big project. Good luck!
- rsbrown 15y agoAs I've done research for Ernie's, I have been extremely impressed with what the UK grocers have accomplished (led by Tesco). If I had to pick a single grocery supply chain as our "gold standard" to emulate, it would definitely be Tesco.
- tooba 15y agoI'm in the UK and would love click and collect groceries. Shopping online is the easy bit. Waiting around for a two hour delivery window is the problem especially when I drive past the store on the way home. Something like Ernie's would be ideal. It'd even be worthwhile for collecting a few day to day items. I'm surprised Tesco hasn't done this already.
