Step 2, Groceries

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the step-3-profit dept.

prostoalex writes "Fortune magazine runs an article on New York - based FreshDirect, provider of high-quality groceries. Unlike Webvan, which failed with $1B of venture capital, FreshDirect seems to make pretty good money off online grocery sales - revenues of $225M are projected by 2004. The minimum order is set at $40, the company also charges $4 for delivery." If you want to check out their store, try zip code 10022.

    Sorry, couldn't resist. :-) I'll go to sleep now.
