Goods is an autonomous grocery store that's gearing up to introduce Austin to a two-minute grocery pickup experience with Instant Grocery Pickup, which uses an underground delivery system so that orders pop up right beside vehicles at this drive-thru market.
A high percentage of major grocery chains now offer curbside pickup services, and Goods aims to overcome common pitfalls by eliminating long wait times, the hassle of scheduling, and poor product substitutions. Goods stocks thousands of popular items for Instant Pickup—including products from H-E-B, Target, and Whole Foods—so that users can place their order via an app, arrive anytime by car, then scan a code to check in. As Goods puts it, "Your order arrives to your car faster than most people find parking."
