    At the moment, the business is limited to the Park Cities, Turtle Creek, Oak Lawn, Downtown, Uptown and Kessler Park areas, and is sourcing some of its products from local specialty operations that include Campisi's Oven Ready Meals & Pizzas, Mozzarella Co., Wild About Harry's and Rudolph's Prime Meats.

    There are two other online grocery services in the region: Albertsons.com, and Melonseed.net.
