I've been sitting on this idea for years thinking I'd actually do it some day, but what the heck... I never will. So somebody please do this.

FM Delivery Service. An online store that will deliver virtually anything to your door in under an hour.

During the dot com era, there was a very high profile failure of a business using a variant of this model, Kosmo.com. There are now successful versions all over the country.

You rent or buy a warehouse, stock it with products people typically run to the store for, set up an online store, and start taking orders. Keys to success: charge a delivery fee and set a minimum order amount.

Customers go online, purchase milk, pet food, diapers, groceries, snacks, DVDs, etc... all the things you would normally have to make a quick trip to the store for. Within an hour, a delivery person brings it to your house.

In warm weather months, delivery people can use bikes, scooters, etc... to maximize efficiency.

Contrary to delivery services we've already had in this town, you DON'T deliver prepared food from restaurants, just groceries etc... This way you don't have the problems associated with delivering restaurant food... cold food, complaints about food quality, slow delivery times, and unreliability of restaurant service.
