Virtual grocery shopping became more popular during the pandemic lockdowns, and Weee, a startup focused on Asian grocery delivery, was no exception. Its founder, Larry Liu, who came to the U.S. from China as a young engineer from Intel nearly two decades ago, said he started the company because he was dissatisfied with the selection available from local Asian grocery stores. He spoke with The Associated Press about how the pandemic affected grocery delivery, the company’s expansion goals after it recently raised over $300 million and how Weee’s customers saw what was coming earlier than many other Americans.
