Writing out a grocery list, meandering the aisles of the grocery
store, heading to the mall for clothes—these used to be
common for consumers. Now, there is an increasing trend
toward online grocery ordering and e-commerce, with either delivery
services or quick pick up replacing the traditional brick and
mortar grocery experience. Similarly, apps like Postmates,
Grubhub/Seamless, Doordash, Yelp, Uber Eats, ChowNow, and many
others offer the same experience with meals, toiletries, and more.
The shift from traditional retail to e-commerce is widely known and
analyzed. As a result, city planners, transportation
companies, and analysts are turning increasing attention towards
the impact of this increase in delivery on driving trends.
