Kozmo.com, an online convenience store that gained popularity in the late 1990s for its fast delivery of everyday items, ultimately shut down in 2001. Despite its initial success and innovative business model, it struggled to achieve profitability and faced intense competition from both traditional retailers and emerging e-commerce platforms. The company’s rapid expansion and high operational costs contributed to its inability to sustain operations, leading to its closure. Kozmo's fate serves as a cautionary tale about the challenges of the online retail landscape.

Why sell online vs retail?

Convenience is one benefit as people don't have to drive somewhere only to find out that the store doesn't stock that particular item. Ordered online the items are delivered to your door. Selling online means that you don't need to have a physical store front that requires a lease, payment of rent and utilities, paying employees to run the store, etc etc. Of course the down side is that internet shopping hurts the local economy ... but when a store doesn't carry the same things in the store that they carry online then they are the one shooting themselves in the foot, not the consumer.
