Dark store
edit- ... that a dark store is never visited by its customers?

Article meets length, newness, and neutrality criteria. Hook meets length, citation, and format requirements. QPQ was done. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:44, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- The article is interesting, or rather, the concept is. As a relatively new concept, the article is a bit "newsy", as much of the text relates to "SuperMarket now has x stores and will be opening y more...", but I suspect that will change as the model evolves in the future. More of a problem is that I find the subject is dealt with rather "mechanically", answering only the "what?". I feel that there is plenty in the sources as to the "why?" – the reasons underlying the growth trends. These should be included for completeness.
The hook teased my into the story, but doesn't scratch the itch. It would have been even better to know not just what a dark store is. Unfortunately, five years on, the etymology of the concept seems to have been lost. -- Ohc ¡digame! 01:57, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick response. I hadn't come across the concept until I watched the BBC News article late on Friday, but I'll see what else I can get from the sources, and look for some others. I'm also hoping the article's appearance on DYK will generate some help from those who can expand it. Paul MacDermott (talk) 13:10, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- ok, have added some more information on this, so it may need checking again before it gets promoted. Paul MacDermott (talk) 17:22, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
