The only grocery delivery I've seen around here (so far) is from Schwan's.

http://www.schwans.com/

When I lived in TN I knew a woman who swore by Schwan's. I don't see
much to get excited about. It's frozen food. Much of it pre-cooked.
Doesn't look very appealing. I did consider Schwan's for my mom after
Dad died and I thought I'd be going back home. I've seen the Schwan's
truck here on Dataw so someone is using them.

I'm guessing there will be a market for Piggly Wiggly home delivery.
I'll go to the luncheon on the 13th. I've got some questions for them.
Meanwhile, I'll probably take a drive to The Pig and take a look
around. It will give me an idea of what I can expect. I *do* know most
of the "recipes" they post on the web site are sponsored by Kelloggs.
