FreshDirect Launches the Smartest Full-Service Mobile Experience for Fresh Food and Grocery Shopping

Download FREE APP and Win Thousands of Dollars in Prizes

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., March 1 -- FreshDirect, New York City's premier online grocer, which has long helped customers save time and money through its home delivery service of farm-fresh foods and brand name groceries, announced today that it is making shopping on-the-go just as fast and easy with a new iPhone application - the first and only full-service app for shopping for fresh food and grocery. The app delivers virtually all of the functionality of FreshDirect.com and allows customers to create new orders as well as modify orders.  Available for free at the Apple App Store, the FreshDirect app is compatible with the iPhone and iPod touch.

Customers can shop FreshDirect's broad selection of fresh foods and brand-name groceries and review specific information such as descriptions, images and nutritional information for each product on the app. The app also includes FreshDirect's proprietary site features such as Daily Produce and Seafood Quality Ratings, as well as "Quick Shop," feature, which makes it fast and easy to shop from previous orders or favorite items.  Incorporating the smart search and recommendation features that FreshDirect customers love and rely on, the new app offers popular customization options such as the ability to specify the thickness of steaks, seafood and deli meat and to select a particular grind for coffee.  FreshDirect's great daily and weekly savings are featured on the new app and customers can also use it to quickly and easily update the delivery date or time for orders that have already been submitted.

Eating right has never been easier, faster and more affordable.

Existing FreshDirect customers can download the free app, log-in with their FreshDirect account information and begin shopping from the app right away. New FreshDirect customers can download the free app but will then be directed to freshdirect.com to set-up an account before they can log in and start using the app.  To make it even easier to open an account, FreshDirect is offering 15% off the first two orders to new customers who download the app.
