What will a grocery store look like in 50 years
Permalink  

What will a grocery store look like in 50 years? A New York-based food design agency intends to find out, and sooner than you might expect.

 

The group, known as Studio Industries, next year intends to open a “pop-up” store in New York that envisions a grocery store in the year 2065. The Futuremarket will include “smart shelves” that will display a unique offering to every shopper based on an embedded “Food ID” chip; and featured products will include limited varieties of “single origin” chips resulting from food manufacturers having embraced crop rotation and other sustainable agricultural practices.

 

Officials of Studio Industries including CEO Mike Lee, a former product innovation specialist at Greek yogurt company Chobani, debuted plans for the Futuremarket at the Future Food Expo this week in New York.

The future grocery stores will all be online. Click and add to your cart and it will be delivered in a refrigerated station wagon. This gives me ideas. Does anyone want to invest in this?

In Kansas City we have a new supermarket that went in called ZoomIn Market. You place your order online and indicate what time you want to pick it up. Then, when you arrive, they bring it out and load it in your car. You don't have to get out to go in or stand in line to pay.

 That is interesting, but isn't there a line of cars to wait in?

You could be looking at it right now. A computer screen, make selections, have groceries delivered right to your front door. Kinda reminds me of the Jetsons.  Check out Fresh Direct.com to see what is available now.

Well  sometimes i type wrong  lol   Yes delivery areas are limited  but there are also other companies like peapod.com and netgrocer.com that cover other areas   Safeway takes online orders and delivers too.  Grocery stores could become grocery wholesalers that deliver straight to your home,  no checkout lines, no wasted hours, no dragging bags around.
