Alex and Caileen Ostenson, owner/operators, Main Street Market - Photo: Main Street MarketA new grocery store in Minnesota is only staffed and open a few days each week for the general public, but members can visit any time — day or night. Main Street Market charges $75 per year for membership, according to Park Rapids Enterprise. Each customer is identified via a unique access code, which the store owner can revoke access at any time via smartphone. Main Street Market is a full grocery store with an organic/co-op style offering. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: What do you make of Main Street Market’s hybrid staffed/unattended model and do you see other retailers implementing something similar?
