Whole Foods Same-Day Delivery Expands To Princeton

PRINCETON, NJ — Princeton residents can now get groceries from Whole Foods Market delivered to their home with the expansion of its Prime Now service.

Whole Foods Market, which is owned by Amazon, launched its popular delivery service in North and Central Jersey Wednesday.

New Jersey Amazon Prime members can shop through the Prime Now service for thousands of items sold at Whole Foods, including locally-sourced merchandise.

The service is now available in the following cities, Carly Golden, an Amazon spokesperson, said: Basking Ridge, Clifton, Edison, Elizabeth, Fairfield, Freehold, Holmdel, Mahwah, Montclair, New Brunswick, Newark, Paterson, Princeton, Ridgewood, Somerset, Trenton, Union and Wayne.

More zip codes are constantly being added to the service, Golden said. (Customers are encouraged to check Amazon's Prime Now website for exact locations and information.)

The service is available from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; customers can pay $7.99 on orders of $35 or more for a one-hour delivery.

The service launched in South Jersey in June. (See related: Amazon Offering Free 2-Hour Whole Foods Delivery In Philly Area)

Christina Minardi, executive vice president of operations for Whole Foods Market, said the delivery service is "a hit" with customers.
