I don't understand why greengrocers aren't eating Blue Apron's and competitors' lunch. They already have the inventory; put it in a bag with a recipe and drop it off at retail price at a few hundred customers' front doors. No more food spoiling on the stands, faster inventory turnover, good PR.

Blue Apron was slowly collapsing before the pandemic, I have no idea how they've been doing since. I think the main reason groceries aren't competing with them is because it's not a good business for anything other than attracting investors.
