Abstract:
Just as soon as pundits agreed that bricks-and-mortar grocers had the inside track in grocery ecommerce, Fresh Direct invaded New York City with no storefront. To generate trial, it offered $50 in free perishables and boasted almost 100,000 customers by the end of the year. By year end, Fresh Direct had not only satisfied its customers by cooking their Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, but had satisfied its banks as well by receiving a second line of financing.

Meanwhile, conventional grocers continued to expand delivery options—even in Des Moines—as Wal-Mart decided there was life beyond groceries on the Web. By year end, Wal-Mart was selling furniture and music on the Web.
