Quick commerce store density measures how many fulfilment nodes each platform operates in a city. Our registry tracks 6,200 dark stores nationwide across 6 platforms and 548 cities.
Why density matters
Higher dark store density usually means shorter delivery radii, wider SKU availability, and more competitive promos in that city. Comparing platforms on the same city slug avoids apples-to-oranges national totals.
