It seems to me that if this is to seriously take off, it would require a distribution center in every major city, at the very least.
If anyone can pull it off, I think Amazon can.
I wrote a term paper on them for my last class in school, based on the then - predicted entry into grocery delivery.
I feel like Amazon is one of the few large companies that has been innovative and has the possibility to be seriously disruptive to the economy.
Some of what was talked about... same-day delivery of groceries. They'd likely have their own fleet. What does this mean for the existing big name grocers? Same-day delivery of regular merchandise. What would this mean for UPS and/or FedEx?
If I were a Mom & Pop shop, and I knew Amazon was coming to town, that would make me lose sleep at night at least as much as Walmart, if not more.
