I would just like to see online grocery get going, period. We had Peapod here for a of couple years and it was the best thing imaginable: staples at your doorstep. It left us with only the interesting food shopping left to do!

Once the delivery mode is figured...

It's about time, and I'm sure only the beginning. Like all other good, new retail ideas, this is great news for consumers -- at least for the near future.

Odd that movie theaters weren't mentioned in our 'most to lose' list. Look out AMC. Who got clobbered most by...

In the last 10 years, everything has changed. Except, of course, for the fundamentals; good design sells, price is an American god, superior customer service rules and the Internet will sooner or later change and dominate everything.

Wait a minute, maybe nothing retail has changed ... we just have...

It's not about the store associates, it's about convenience. If I can find out something about a product at home and in less than a minute, that sure trumps having to go to a store to talk to someone -- even if I DO fully trust them.

Super Bowl Sunday is the #1 day of the year for all pizza delivery companies. I rest my case.

As most of us know, the guiding principle of retail is Murphy's Law -- so, imagine if you DIDN'T have your staff wear your product. Yeah, they would wear the competition's and be standing there, in your store, telling your customers where they got it. Unimaginable actually.

So, best...

I don't know, it's a bit of a seismic shift in that, when you see that green logo, you think "jolt." But if they have the same quality approach to the beer that they have with coffee, it could work.

Regardless, it seems that the urban stores (walking traffic)...
