The number one reoccurring irritant for
consumers when shopping for groceries over the past 30 years is the length of
time it takes to shop tied with the time it take to prepare a meal when cooking
from scratch according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru®
at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice
Solutions®.
Now, Alltown
Fresh has developed a new contactless way for customers to shop for
fresh groceries and meals during the COVID-19 pandemic while reducing time in
the store called ‘Fresh Crates program’. Here is how it works; customers place
orders 24 hours in advance and pick up crates of fresh protein, produce or
pantry items curbside the next day.
Here is the hook, Alltown Fresh has what
they call ‘Meal Prep & Provisions”.
They have pre-assembled meal prep kits to help get dinner on the table
in minutes. Shoppers can place an order before noon to have their meal prep kit
ready for pickup by 5 p.m. Prep kits serve a minimum of four people and
include options such as taco night; teriyaki rice bowls; tomato soup and
grilled cheese; chicken, broccoli, and pasta bake; and fresh falafel wraps.
Technology upgrades have elevated
customers relevance at Alltown Fresh as they began offering curbside pickup of
all menu items and delivery through Grubhub to deliver fresh food choices
and menu items straight to customers' doors.
Local fresh food fast is a great message
for any fresh food retailer and Alltown Fresh has strong relationships with
local farms and purveyors to ensure a reliable supply of fresh food to four
stores in Massachusetts and Connecticut. How are you helping
consumer prepare dinner tonight?
