The New Glarus Chamber of Commerce, in its March newsletter, highlighted DoorDash partnership opportunities and encouraged area businesses to consider delivery as another way to serve the community and reach more customers. The suggestion points to a larger shift already underway in and around New Glarus, where delivery is slowly becoming a bigger part of everyday life.

In a relatively rural community some distance from both Madison and Monroe, however, delivery does not always work the same way it does in larger places. In New Glarus, the question is not just whether a restaurant or store can sign up for a service, but whether the delivery is affordable, dependable, and practical once it reaches the customer.
