I enjoy mealkits, but it seems like it would be trivial for existing grocery stores to swoop in if/when this model gains broad popularity. I could see Costco, which already has an upscale prepared foods department, offering Blue Apron/Freshly style meals at 50%-60% of the cost if they determined that they could sell a few hundred meals a week. I don't see what the moat for these businesses is.

Grocery stores in Houston already offer this. HEB, Whole Foods, Central Market, and a few others have prepared meals. It is also inexpensive and the meals tend to be good
Is this in other cities?
