Re:Nestlé leads $77M round for healthy meal startup Freshly by saturdaysaint on Tuesday June 20, 2017 @09:17AM (#14594347)
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?

How inexpensive are they ?

Don't worry. Nestle knows how to make money from food commodities.
