Pretty good feature on Peapod on the Upside website today...Talks about the new leadership and the bricks and mortar alliances. Worth reading if you still think someone in the online grocery market might survive. http://upside.com/Ebiz/3958fa620.html |

Still have hope? Peapod named a new CEO and is now working closely with several US bricks and mortar supermarket chains like Stop & Shop that are owned by the same company. The new CEO was a VP at S&S and believes that tight integration between the on and offline stores will lead the 'pod to profitability. A lot of people--including me--still believe that grocery delivery will come about, it may just be that all these companies jumped into the scene too early. Someone's going to make this work.

Peapod was sued by shareholders who allege the Internet grocer hid its financial problems, causing them to lose money when the shares dropped more than 50 percent in a single day. (Cnet) http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1007-200-1776036.html |

From StreetAdvisor: Why companies like Peapod and Webvan will fail (although Webvan has a much better chance) "traditional grocers, such as Safeway [SWY], with much higher sales volumes, will maintain a cost advantage and therefore higher gross profit margins over smaller online rivals for the foreseeable future. Safeway is profitable and cash flow positive, which will allow the company to invest in its online grocery offering. Additionally, a company like Safeway already has the fulfillment capabilities and brand recognition that is still very costly for pure-play online grocers to develop." This quote printed days before Safeway's recent investment btw. |

I think the word rescued means that they are saving it from going under right now... $73 million is a good amount of money that could keep the company going for a few years if they wanted to do that. I don't quite know why they would, although maybe they want to keep it on life support to sell it or to merge it with another delivery company. I agree, if its merely an investment, it doesn't fix anthing. |

I wouldn't be so quick as to say "rescued". Rescued implies a fix to the problems - and cash only clearly won't be a fix. It can surely help, but remember, they have had cash before. I'd be interested to see what kind of controlling stake in the daily operations of Peapod this deal gives Royal Ahold. If it's merely an investment, then I don't see how this fixes anything except delaying the inevitable. |

Online grocer Peapod may only have enough cash left for two weeks of operations. As the company solicits offers for a buyout, people are beginning to wonder what's in "store" for the competition. (source Ecommerce Times) http://www.ecommercetimes.com/news/articles2000/000331-4.shtml |

Someone put a timeframe on the demise, frmo ecommercetimes: "Peapod "probably runs out in a week or two," said Barry Stouffer, who follows the company for J.C. Bradford & Co. The company lost a promised $120 million (US$) in financing two weeks ago, after its president and chief executive resigned due to health reasons. "They were basically insolvent at that point," said Stouffer." I just can't shake this sense of impending doom. The first wave of highly publicized meltdowns is occurring--CDnow, Peapod, Dr. Koop, and it is going to keep coming. This might be the real story behind the shakedown in the Nasdaq--people believed that these companies were going to survive, no matter how many quarters they bled money. Once one goes down in flames, people actually realize that it can happen.
