Long before that, even (although you could argue it's a different type of grocery delivery): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwan%27s_Company https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwan%27s_Company > The Schwan's family maintains 100 percent ownership of Minnesota-based Schwan’s Home Service, a privately held, independent entity traced to the company’s home-delivery business launched by Marvin Schwan in 1952. Schwan's Home Service sells frozen foods from home delivery trucks, in grocery store freezers, by mail, and to the food service industry. As of 2022, Schwan's Home Service will be rebranded as Yelloh.
