Rather, with a couple of button presses on a smartphone, the items can be on a doorstep within less than ten minutes.

The shadow behind this promise of immediate gratification is the dark web of the dark stores, an interconnected system of mini-warehouses that are transforming consumer behavior, urban culture and the future of the business.
