The transition to food e-commerce is made possible by the implementation of new technologies, by the arrival of new players who have made the sector more complex and dynamic, and by the development of new logistical capacities (dark stores, micro-hubs). The quick commerce sector marks an additional step in the development of instant deliveries, which now applies to the entire food and online shopping market. This research analyzes the organization of the quick commerce supply chain (organization based on logistics micro-hubs (dark stores), partnerships with large-scale distribution, third-party logistics operators, organization of the last mile) and also highlights the highly transport-intensive nature (in terms of vehicle movements and delivery flows) of dark stores. The establishment of dark stores in densely populated areas (Paris, London, New York, etc.) is accompanied by controversy with local elected officials about the nuisances generated by the activities of dark stores (noise, congestion, pollution, waste, non compliance with local urban planning rules, aesthetics linked to blacked-out facades) and about the negative externalities, real or supposed, of quick commerce on local commerce and urban life.
