RE: Kroger digital and merger16 Nov 2024 12:37
I have been using Ocado since they signed up with Waitrose, no complaints its an excellent service. As VP states there are many other companies out there even couriers/taxis that will shop and deliver for a fee, this is same day delivery and is very convenient for some customers. When I order from Ocado the food is direct from a CFC and therefore the shelf life is much longer than the ISF shopper running round a store not looking at the sell by dates. I also receive a list of the items I ordered and when it expires (in date order) so you can pin to your fridge, the food is also expertly chilled until delivery. The relationship with Kroger is paused pending takeover as hundreds of stores need to be strategically closed, this makes business sense obviously. Their CEO speaks highly of Ocado, business as usual will resume, this partnership could be worth far more than all their contracts put together, retail is only 10% of the business. Been buying and selling in Ocado for years and always enjoy the dips will be topping up again soon but IMO will go lower until results loom ever closer Jan and Feb. Good to listen to positive and negative news and other investors opinions. GL to all, we are here to make money long or short....and yes an Ocado contract is long over due!
