and would like meals delivered.• Parents with small children. These people are too busy go to

the grocery store and like the convenience of having groceries delivered.

• City dwellers with no cars. In New York, this group is large and going on a big shopping trip is inconvenient. In Southern California where cars are a “must”, this group is not as popular.

• Disabled persons. These people use online grocers for convenience. In this case, online grocers provide a necessary service.

• Elderly people. Many elderly people don’t drive, can’t carry big bags or make large shopping trips.

Note: the brick-and-mortars are not trying to replace customers in their stores with online
