As stores grew and offered an ever larger choice-- AND women began to drive, that changed. Our family has ordered over the net with pickup at store a number of times. Preference is to walk the store and make choices firsthand. Our "children" now homeowners and busy working Moms, their friends, younger family members with children all prefer to visit the store, making time to view purchases. Delivery from varied services outside the bricks/mortar segment will continue I feel-- however grocery delivery may prove to be too expensive a feature as more younger couples marry, start families and prefer to shop for their families.Paul Hoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491217991738522251noreply@blogger.com
