The company’s FreshDirect on Main will be a pop-up store on Main Street in Southampton, New York, and will be open from Memorial Day weekend through the end of December, FreshDirect said in a Thursday (May 22) press release.
“Designed to evoke the charm of a classic farmers market, the space features a selection of local produce, prepared foods, wine and beer,” the company said in a blog post. “Guests can shop a curated selection of local favorites, including farm-fresh produce, small-batch cheeses, olive oils and seasonal items from regional farms like Wells Homestead Acres and Deer Run Farms.”
The pop-up store will also offer a coffee counter; a limited-edition, Hamptons-inspired totes; and in-store experiences like ice cream socials and wine and cheese tastings, according to the release.
