You're probably right. There is, however, something of a 'delivery grocery' business for people without cars, rich folks, old folks, etc. But your local supermarket might also offer such a service, and Net Grocer wouldn't be my choice. At the same time you see that athletes order whey protein and creatine monohydrate in huge tubs from the discount nutrition places so perhaps a hybrid between a nutrition and supplements business and a grocery business can catch on for those who want a cheap supply of a certain staple, say cheap 5 lb. tubs of additive-free peanut butter or a certain kind of flour. I guess many would drive to get this...except for the fact that a good online store could blow everyone out of the water for low overhead and innovative product selection.
