Blair Welch, co-founder of [Slate Asset Management](https://www.slateam.com/), was recently on Institutional Real Estate's podcast talking about grocery-anchored real estate. In it, he talks about the role that this asset class plays in last-mile food logistics, why ecommerce might actually be strengthening its importance, and why it needs to be considered as being distinct from other kinds of retailing. This is a topic that we have covered [a few times before on the blog](https://brandondonnelly.com/tag/slate-grocery-reit/) and I think many of you might find it interesting.
