FreshDirect Expands To Westport

Recently, it seems like every newcomer to Westport has moved from Manhattan or Brooklyn.

They give up a lot to come here: 24/7 life. Every necessity within walking distance, including a Duane Reade on every corner. FreshDirect.

We can’t provide the first 2 (and all we’ve got is CVS and Walgreens.)

But on March 25, Westporters gain access to the online, custom-preparation grocery delivery service. FreshDirect offers fresh meat, fish, produce and specialty items in 7 states.

Up to now, Connecticut next-day service was available only in Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan and Darien. Now — thanks to new headquarters in the Bronx — FreshDirect is expanding here (and Fairfield, Southport and Norwalk).

The FreshDirect website says that it does not deliver to zip code “06880.”

But “06880” readers know that’s stale news.
