Abstract
This paper leverages store location data and analysis software from retail industry vendors to analyze the unique geographies of electronic commerce (e-commerce) offerings among major grocery chains in the United States. Join-Count statistics are calculated to identify patterns of clustering among offerings, and a spatial probit model is implemented to regress various trade area characteristics on a given grocery banner's decision to offer some form of e-commerce (pickup, delivery, or both) or no offering at a given store location. A regional case study of the Southeastern United States demonstrates how model results can shift based on scale, pointing to unique regional dynamics that deviate from broader national trends. This analysis carries implications for location planning and competitive defense strategies in the grocery industry, and also establishes avenues for future research.
期刊介绍：
Applied Geography is a journal devoted to the publication of research which utilizes geographic approaches (human, physical, nature-society and GIScience) to resolve human problems that have a spatial dimension. These problems may be related to the assessment, management and allocation of the world physical and/or human resources. The underlying rationale of the journal is that only through a clear understanding of the relevant societal, physical, and coupled natural-humans systems can we resolve such problems. Papers are invited on any theme involving the application of geographical theory and methodology in the resolution of human problems.
