“Desktop deli” provides outlet for gourmet and specialty foods
10/05/2004
New online retailer GourmetFoodMall.com is devoted exclusively to gourmet and specialty food products and currently houses more than 5,000 gourmet food items--many from small, "mom and pop" producers of gourmet and specialty foods that are inaccessible to a nationwide market.“Right now there are approximately 45,000 producers of gourmet food products out there, each with a sustainable share of the market,” says Andrew Restivo, president and founder. “Since a corner specialty deli could never possibly house all these products, online resources like GourmetFoodMall are a natural next step for the industry.”
GourmetFoodMall’s merchants drop ship their products direct from their facilities, so no warehousing is necessary.
