The local stores offers convenience shopping in a country like India where population density is high. In addition, the added benefit of familiarity, trust and home delivery at odd hours is highly valued. Categories like fruits, vegetables and meat, where freshness accounts for a lot, makes the local stores a preferred channel for purchase.
