Amazon does not publish any breakdown of its fresh food sales from the rest of its sales figures;however, Talbott said, They are still tiny, in terms of grocery sales in Florida that he estimated at $10 billion. Analysts will be listening for updates about its latest method of expansion: opening in new markets without opening new stores. A survey by Brick Meets Click and MercatusofJanuary grocery shopping trends, released in February, showed sales from home delivery by local courier and ship-to-home by package dropped by 8% year over year. The number of U.S. households that bought groceries online during the month remained steady at 69 million, dipping 1% versus last year. The popular Florida-based grocery store announced on Tuesday that it has officially signed a lease for a store just over 55,000 square feet in Louisville, Kentucky. Online shoppers can order groceries for delivery through Amazon Fresh online in Miami, Orlando and Tampa metro areas, she said. As the in-person retail space at Amazon increases, that could help them gain customers, Talbott explained. Other side of pandemic Publix needs to see if consumer behavior is permanently changed with many more customers preferring delivery or pick-up.. To avoid the fee, customers can choose to purchasean Instacart Express membership. In its own right, Instacart is very large in the U.S. home-delivery sector as agrocery delivery servicewith more than 120 supermarket partners across more than 4,500 stores in at least 45 states. Publix Super Markets Inc. enjoys a loyal base of shoppers who repeatedly restock their pantries and refrigerators because of its focus on customer service. With its statewide investment in infrastructure, Amazon could someday cut into that with its potential to deliver more items to Floridians homes than Publix. Amazon levers their own fleet across categories that Kroger and Publix do not, Talbott said. Don't miss on pre-sales, member-only contests and member only events. Meanwhile, Publixscosts were lower due to its partnership with Instacart but Amazon probably has larger orders going to its customers due to the sheer number of items e-commerce shoppers can buy online. !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(e){if(void 0!==e.data["datawrapper-height"]){var t=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var a in e.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r=0;r
