<<<<Too bad PPOD is not offered in my area-Silicon Valley; otherwise, I would choose its service.

.....ask your local safeway--i bet it is. if is offered here in redwood city!!

.....i actually think that they will do a lot of advertising and then, as prices of food climb, they will be able to maintain a stable to lower price structure to offset the thought that they only cater to the high end customer.

......also, they may try warehousing in boston to see if it is more efficient than going with supermarkets.

.....are you invested? i was thinking of buying a small amount and dollar cost averaging in over the next 6 months to build a position. need a bit more info first.

Off topic John & Doc......

The thing that would attract me to PPOD is my spending habits. Each year for the last 4 I have recorded, we spend just over $10k a year on consumables. I'd say at least 1/2 could come from the net. That's a lot of potential revenues...
