I wish that some of these manufacturers would bring back product and sell it online. There's gotta be room for products that have enough global popularity to support a market, even if no one local grocery store does enough business to make it worthwhile.

Walmart does an IMHO pretty good pretty good delivery-to-door service that leverages their existing logistics network. Amazon does groceries if one buys Amazon Prime.

I regularly get Diet Dr. Pepper delivered by Walmart, which I would have thought would be impossible to do economically -- it's heavy and low-value and they only charge a fixed shipping fee, no matter how much you get -- but apparently they can do it. They have to at least have the ability to get it to their store, so...shrugs. And beyond that, they can do delivery-to-store service, so if they have a guaranteed sale and someone just wants to pick it up, I'd think that they could swing that for products that only have limited demand.
