Recently went on vacation and used grocery pickup at a Maine grocery store and picked up groceries for the entire week.

Awesome service but I asked the lady how many pick ups they did this Sunday and she said 35. and I said what's the most and she said 65 - 70.

Grocery pick-up has not caught on yet and grocery delivery I would imagine is even less than that




I have three young kids and it's very difficult to go shopping with them. If they're not causing problems, they're taking up space in the cart. Sometimes when my wife and I go together with the kids, we push one cart with the kids piled in and one cart for the actual groceries.

Being able to order our groceries online and have them delivered or picking them up in some kind of drive-through lane is a huge quality of life improvement for families like mine.


I live in Maine, I bet it's Hannaford that you did this with. I use it all the time, in fact I almost never actually into the store anymore if I can avoid it. Not sure I could live with out it any more! :)
