My
neighborhood used to have a 24/7 Korean deli on every corner. Most of them are gone now.
My
local supermarket, formally a Food Emporium, is now a Morton-Williams
store. They have remade the store
entirely and in the process have narrowed the aisles so much that one cart
barely makes it through, never mind two.
And even with just a basket, I find it uncomfortable and claustrophobic
to shop there. So I surmised that people
probably aren't actually shopping there.
Therefore
I was less surprised then I might have been when I saw that a new study from
Clavis Insight found that 90% of Millennials shop for groceries online. The figure drops to 84% for Gen Xers; still
high enough to take note. (Berk, 2017)
In
fact, it brings a whole new meaning to the familiar phrase - "Who Moved My
Cheese?" Time for grocery stores to
beef up their online/mobile game.

of millennials shop online for groceries.
