 Long Island City, NY - FreshDirect, one of the nation’s leading online gourmet food purveyors, announced its plans to extend delivery services into Scarsdale, bringing freshly prepared foods, competitively priced groceries and convenient home delivery to an increasing number of customers in Westchester County’s suburban neighborhoods.
Starting April 10, 2008, Scarsdale residents will benefit from the ease of online grocery shopping, gaining access to FreshDirect’s extensive product offering of local and organic produce, mouthwatering chef-prepared 4-Minute Meals and Ready-to-Cook entrées and groceries. The new delivery route in Westchester County adds to a growing number of towns in the region currently serviced by FreshDirect, including Pelham, New Rochelle, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye and Harrison.
Understanding the distinct needs and lifestyle differences of suburbanites versus city dwellers, FreshDirect has adjusted its New York City delivery model to provide the best possible service to its Westchester customer base. Some of the conveniences that FreshDirect offers to Westchester residents includes morning delivery slots from Saturday through Tuesday and a “drop-off” service where groceries are left at a customer’s doorstep, giving them the freedom to leave their home during the scheduled two-hour delivery window and find their order awaiting their return.
“Since FreshDirect began expanding its services into new neighborhoods outside of Manhattan in 2002, we have quickly become a fixture in the suburban landscape,” said Steve Michaelson, President of FreshDirect. “I am pleased to meet the growing customer demand by bringing the same superior service and fresh, nutritious foods to the Scarsdale community.”
Based in Long Island City, Queens, FreshDirect is known for offering a superior quality of food with its convenient online ordering and home delivery service. FreshDirect prides itself on providing unparalleled freshness and variety from specialty departments such as organic, kosher and local market selection. For young families, the FreshDirect Baby Store includes an extensive selection of diapers, organic baby foods, and bulk packs, all at competitive prices.
