Ghost Grocery Stores
Ghost grocery stores are a new approach to serving underserved areas by leveraging technology and low overhead. These stores typically operate with minimal in-store staff and are heavily reliant on digital orders and automated processes. We assist in designing these operations, choosing the right technology platforms, and implementing strategies for efficient inventory management, customer engagement, and delivery logistics.
