Launch a Modern Grocery Delivery Business

A Proven Path to Launching a Service That’s in Demand, Profitable, and Built for Real Operators

Running your own grocery delivery or pre-arrival stocking service doesn’t have to be vague or risky. With Co-Op Shopper, you start with a proven structure, choose the level that fits your stage, and upgrade as demand grows.

There are three ways to get started:

a Microsite to test the waters
a Grocery Store to accept full online orders
an Advanced Costco Platform when you’re ready to scale

Enjoy the freedom of independence without the technical overhead. I provide the setup and support with a 100% commission-free model.

Choose How You Want to Start

Not everyone begins at the same stage. Some people need to validate demand, others need full online ordering, and some are ready for a Costco-specific operation right away. Co-Op Shopper gives you three entry points, each with a clear upgrade path.

Shopper Microsite — Test the Waters

Start with a hosted microsite built for service requests, scheduling, and payments. Clients upload their grocery lists, choose delivery or pre-arrival stocking, and you get paid online — without building a full storefront or managing a product catalog.

Generic Store — Online Checkout

When you’re ready for customers to browse products, add to cart, and check out, you move up to a Generic Store. You curate the product catalog and define the stores you shop (Costco, Whole Foods, Kroger, local grocers, etc.).

Costco Store — Scale with Costco Tools

Offer guests grocery stocking before they arrive. Works for STRs, resorts, and property managers with or without an in-house concierge.

What You Get in Every Option

No matter where you start, you’re not left to figure things out alone. Every option includes:

Commission-free sales
Guided setup so you don’t guess at how to structure your service
Operational framework for handling requests, schedules, communication, and fulfillment
Brand positioning support for your local market or hospitality environment
Room to grow with upgrade paths that don’t require rebuilding from scratch

These fundamentals apply whether you’re serving a few Airbnb guests or running a high-volume Costco-focused operation.

Which Option Fits Where You Are Right Now

Option: Microsite

Choose this if you’re:

testing your market
adding a stocking service to an existing hospitality role
serving one resort corridor or neighborhood
unsure what products clients will request
not ready to maintain a product catalog

Upgrade when clients start asking for shopping carts or lists of products.

Option: Generic Store

Choose this if you’re:

ready for customers to shop online
sourcing from multiple stores
serving repeat customers or property managers
needing product images, categories, and pricing

Upgrade when Costco becomes the primary source of orders or when you want split-item workflows for groups.

Option: Costco Store

Choose this if you’re:

specializing in Costco groceries
serving high-volume resort or corporate markets
needing structured Costco lists and efficient workflows
supporting group sharing or stocking for multiple units

This is the option built for scaling, not just testing.

Who the Co-Op Shopper Model Is Built For

The model works for operators who want to offer a legitimate service, not just occasional gig work. It fits especially well for:

Professional shoppers leaving gig apps to build their own brand
Property managers and co-hosts offering pre-arrival grocery stocking for guests
Hospitality teams and resorts that want consistent stocking support
Local operators in resort or seasonal markets with high guest turnover
Corporate and office managers coordinating shared orders for groups

Start Where You Are, Upgrade When the Numbers Justify It

Most operators start small, validate demand, and then step up. You don’t have to commit to the full platform on day one.

A typical progression looks like:

Microsite → Generic Store → Costco Store

There’s no rebuild, no migration headaches, and no switching platforms. You just unlock what you need as your volume increases.

Pick the Level That Matches Your Stage

If you're validating the model, the Microsite is the right starting point. When you're ready for full online ordering, the Generic Store delivers it. And if you're targeting bulk, Costco-focused, or high-volume markets, the Costco Store gives you real leverage.
