Mainstreet America is struggling as more of us shop online

Suggested by AG Aviral Gupta over 4 years ago

Mainstreet America is struggling as more of us shop online. There needs to be a way to unify commercial corridor online to allow locals to easily support local businesses! Window shop your downtown, mall or art & crafts festival.

would be awesome. folks have tried in the past but that was before local merchants were on a few dominant point of sale platforms so accurate inventory was an issue. and before delivery networks like doordash. key question do the unit economics work? what is cost to onboard a merchant and how fast do you make 2x that back in gross margin (CACD). and what is cost to onboard a consumer who shops locally, and how fast do you make 2x that back in gm. @Lee Hnetinka is doing a version of this with FastAF.com but not sourcing instacart-style out of stores but building his own 7-11 sized warehouses with his own highly curated brand inventory.
