Mercato checks all online boxes for Grace’s Marketplace

Grace’s Marketplace, a European style neighbourhood market in New York, is now offering same-day online delivery through startup Mercato’s platform.

“We were looking for an online partner that cared about quality and service as much as we did, and also provided the e-commerce tools we needed to offer delivery of prepared foods and our vast inventory of hard-to-find, curated items. Mercato checked all the boxes,” says Daniel Soares of Grace’s Marketplace.

“Mercato understands our need to replicate, as close as possible, the in-store experience and quickly deliver hand-selected items to our valued customers throughout New York City.”

“This business is close to my heart because I grew up helping out in my dad’s small grocery store in Brooklyn. Independent, main-street retailers like Grace’s Marketplace and my dad’s shop empower neighbourhoods with history, economic growth, and community connection,”  says Mercato Founder and CEO Bobby Brannigan.

“Unlike Amazon, Mercato offers deliveries that are hand-packed by the grocers themselves, with special attention given to quality, freshness, and customer service.”
