Yes, I think it's pretty common (here's one around me: https://locavoredelivery.com/ ), but still delivers value and can be a good business.

Reminds me that middlemen provide value in a lot of ways, even though they are hated and everyone thought the internet would disintermediate them all.

Yep. Even if it has never been easier for the maker/producer to setup their own Shopify store, it's still not enough. Sure a decent website on shopify is better than nothing, but most likely only your current customers will go. You need extra skills to bring NEW customers: marketing, SEO, social media, etc.. and chances are that it's someone else that will have those skills.

the only people who hate middlemen are people who cannot into economics.
