Wild Fork Updates Membership Policy?

What business fundamentals have (or will) change permanently that will cause companies to fail?

This case is a good example; logistics (shipping) fundamentals have changed and if you don’t have access to a major shipping hub, costs escalate sharply. Logistics companies are struggling to attract and keep employees. As a result, they are raising pay and benefits substantially, fuel costs have escalated, etc.

WF will still sell products to customers anywhere; they just aren’t able to discount shipping costs like they used to Because of this new dynamic.

I agree with what you are saying about major hubs. In the case of Kentucky, FedEx, UPS, and Amazon all have major shipping hubs here.

I neglected to add this part:

I’m about 10 miles into Kansas, they don’t have a store in Missouri, yet Missouri isn’t being discontinued
