New avenues of fresh food distribution
continue to open up. Each one seems to
have the ability to garner new customers.
Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions® asks, where
are you customer shopping after they leave your store, and why?
Robomart is a Santa Monica, California-based
company hails itself as the first store-hailing platform. So, what does that
mean? Ok, consumers can us the proprietary
Robomart app, then they can hail an
automated store on wheels and have it arrive at their location in less
than 10 minutes, making it the fastest delivery service currently available,
according the Robomart press release.
Robomart
partnered with Miami-based REEF, an operator of mobility and logistics hubs and
neighborhood kitchens in North America, to manage product stocking,
tagging, scanning, integrity and replenishment. The goal, fresh food fast
and flavorful was clearly top of mind according to Johnson.
Ali Ahmed, co-founder of Robomart, stated, "We're incredibly
excited to launch Robomart in West Hollywood and introduce consumers to the
latest innovation in retail,"… "In the past decade, online
delivery services have grown substantially and filled a need in the market;
however, there are still many challenges that make these services undesirable
for consumers.
The press release stated that, initially,
the company is rolling out two Robomart types: a Pharmacy Robomart and a
ready-to-eat Snacks Robomart. It is developing a Grocery Robomart. Johnson, believe
that the full potential will not be reached until the focus on daypart meals
with Grocerant niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared meals and meal components.

Interesting, in a time when we are discussion how the gig economy is marginalizing food service and front line grocery workers, that a business is providing another alternative to reduce labor and brick and mortar costs. The convenience for the affluent is increasing the economic gaps in our society, at the expense of labor, consumer choice, and the environment. Food quality and freshness choices are being further eliminated to reinforce the supply-side economics mentality that runs our nation.
