Locally owned Renzi Foodservice has introduced a new online marketplace, “Renzi Market,” and will begin offering curbside pickup and residential home delivery to the city and town of Watertown, New York. This initiative will provide the public a new outlet to safely source essential food and supplies online and shop from the comfort of their homes, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. The online Renzi Market will be available for the community to start placing orders beginning on Monday, May 18.
In addition to the convenience of online shopping and delivery, key benefits of Renzi Market include:
- New opportunity to support the local community by sourcing grocery essentials and specialty items from a local, family-owned company, including products from local farms and manufacturers
