There's no grocery store anchor that's going to go in there.

I mean, look around.

There's more empty grocery stores and empty Walgreens buildings than anything else because no one's going there.

Houston Crosta: He Bought a Bugatti Then Lost 25% Overnight | DSH #1593

Right.

I see like the future being like these like massive Costco style warehouses where we just order everything on the phone and it just delivers to us.

Digital Social Hour
Houston Crosta: He Bought a Bugatti Then Lost 25% Overnight | DSH #1593

Do you think everybody would probably prefer that?

and the people delivering it have a job, right?

Houston Crosta: He Bought a Bugatti Then Lost 25% Overnight | DSH #1593

Like, I feel like it works for everybody, you know?

I mean, I think that there's like a way that this is going to become something more, right?

Like kind of like the Instacart and Uber and Yelp and all these companies, they are all based on delivery platforms now, right?

Digital Social Hour

Like when we had our restaurant, 40% of our sales came through the delivery platform.

Houston Crosta: He Bought a Bugatti Then Lost 25% Overnight | DSH #1593

And that was before 2023.

I can only imagine what it's going to be in five years.

Digital Social Hour

So do you need a brick and mortar location anymore?

Digital Social Hour

Or do you just go into this big Costco sized building and rent your 500 square feet and just wait for the orders to come in and you just have your little kitchen and then the people just pick it up and you run your restaurant as a faceless thing.

Digital Social Hour

Ghost kitchen.
