The article mentions the nuisance caused by darkstores, but does not go in depth. I've recently came across a small instagram [0] that details some of these. I want to mention some of the nuisances. Especially in Amsterdam the infrastructure in neighbourhoods is not suitable, the stores need to re-up their supply many times a day (10-15 times), leading to (bike) traffic build up in the often narrow streets [1][2]. They also supply in the weekend, which goes against local ruling on when business can load/offload (generally not in the weekend). Their scooters and bikes take up a lot of space on sidewalks as well, which normally was used by residents only.
