The concept that Peapod represents is just starting to catch the imagination of the media & the public. ..."One more, a big one: selling groceries online. I'll go into this in some detail next week because it demands more space than I have here now. But while delivering groceries to your door from orders placed through e-commerce has some special and daunting last-mile problems, it fulfills that wish so many of us have to escape the tyranny of the weekly or even more frequent trip to the grocery store. Sure, some folks like to go to a Jefferson Market, fondle the asparagus, caress the eggplant, then pay $5 for a half-dozen perfect strawberries. But for most of us, a "big shop" trip to the grocery is right up there with root canals on our life's lists of things we'd love to never have to do again." Regis
