4. METHODS I conducted my primary research on the UAA and APU library databases. I reviewed many peer reviewed articles on the topic of grocery delivery. I reviewed reputable online websites that focus on social media and emerging business trends around the world. I created a questionnaire to help me get a better understanding of how much the immediate community is aware of the grocery delivery concept. I distributed said questionnaire to fellow classmates and random potential customers to really get a good idea of whether or not a service like this would get used. I examined the data and created graphics using the information provided by the respondents.

5. RESULTS The results that we gathered were very helpful in depicting the current attitude and knowledge towards grocery delivery. Questions asked: Are you familiar with the grocery delivery concept? Would you use a grocery delivery service? Do you prefer manned or unmanned deliveries?

6. 80% of the participants surveyed indicated that they were unfamiliar with the concept of grocery delivery.
