3. "How often does your store receive deliveries?"
We're sometimes asked this question, so here's the answer:
1. Our wines arrive on Tuesday Mornings
2. Most of our organic produce, bottled milk, RgBH free milk, and Naked Juices arrive on Wednesday Mornings
3. Most of our dairy, frozen foods and local eggs arrive on Thursday Mornings
4. Most of our dry goods and frozen foods arrive on Friday Mornings
5. Our locally sourced produce, meats, dry goods, beers and coffees arrive throughout the week
PS: therefore, you can see that life at Downtown Grocery is busy almost all of the time checking-in and restocking shelves. Ask us more questions as we love to share with you the things we know --- or we'll quickly learn those things that we don't know so that we will know.
