The Milkman Delivers

July 9, 2010

FROM RETAILWIRE:
If you're of a certain age and grew up in America, you probably remember hearing the sound of clinking glass outside your house early in the morning as the milkman made his rounds. Is there a significant niche market for milkmen today?      [more...]

As mentioned before, there is a niche market for "fresh foods delivered to your door," with milk being one of the offerings. When I was growing up, in addition to the milkman, we had the produce truck visit the block, and the bread truck as well. I think all of these offerings can make a great comeback, in the correct upscale neighborhoods.

Tie it in with technology, and have the fresh trucks send out Tweets when they are pulling into a neighborhood, and you can grow a nice, profitable, and loyal business.
