Then Why Are You Limiting Orders to Store Hours? While you sleep, your customers are shopping elsewhere.
Most grocery stores operate:
🕖 8-10 open hours/day (e.g. 7AM-9PM)= 14-16 “dark hours” daily when customers can’t shop with you
While your registers are closed:
21% of all grocery orders in major cities are placed during evening and nighttime hours (Statista 2024; +2% vs. 2023).
Nighttime delivery is now a key loyalty driver for younger consumers, with a steady increase in demand from Millennials and Gen Z (McKinsey 2024).
Millennials’ willingness to pay extra for night delivery remains high; recent surveys show over 60% are ready to pay a 5–7% premium for late-night convenience (NielsenIQ 2024, trend update).
Competition for night-time orders continues to intensify, with more platforms offering 24/7 services and capturing a growing share of after-hours demand (PYMNTS, industry overview 2024).

“The grocery chains that survive the next decade will master one principle: maximize revenue from existing assets. Your real estate costs the same whether you generate sales 8 hours or 24 hours. Multi-location grocers who implement 24/7 digital ordering see 15-25% revenue increases without adding a single square foot.”
Bagrat Safarian, CEO Local Express
The operational advantage:
Centralized management of digital ordering across your entire chain, with location-specific customization and unified analytics.
Will you let agile competitors capture your after-hours revenue, or leverage your multi-location advantage for always-on revenue generation?
