About FreshDirect

From proprietary routing systems to our state-of-the-art fulfillment center, every part of our business is designed to deliver unmatched quality, convenience and care.

We partner directly with farmers, fishermen, and artisans to source the highest quality ingredients, then use smart data, automation, and logistics to get them to our customers’ door at peak freshness. It’s grocery shopping reimagined and we are just getting started.
