Grocery delivery service AmazonFresh arrives in North Texas - Dallas News

Cedar Hill, Arlington, Grand Prairie, Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Richardson, Plano, The Colony, Frisco, parts of Allen (but not McKinney), Lewisville, Flower Mound, Southlake, Irving, Fort Worth and Burleson. Consumers can place an order in the morning and have it delivered as early as that same evening, or order before going to bed and have the items on the doorstep in time for breakfast the next day. Available items include fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, seafood, baked goods, and dairy products, along with pet supplies, baby items, beauty products and prepared foods such as Tyson Tastemakers Meal Kits, and products made exclusively for AmazonFresh like the Single Cow Burger, a new high-end beef patties. The program also will offer selections from several North Texas retailers through the Local Market program, including Local Yocal, V+V Apothicaire, and Scardello Cheese. All Local Market items are delivered as part of customers' AmazonFresh orders. The AmazonFresh program marks the second food delivery program Amazon announced this year for North Texas. In June the company announced a partnership in which consumers can order items from a Sprouts Farmers Market store in Dallas through the Prime Now program. Grocery deliverers popped up like daisies in the tech boom of the '90s and withered almost as quickly. This time around both tech companies and traditional retailers are looking at solutions that involve bricks and clicks. "The grocery retail landscape continues to evolve," said Kroger spokeswoman April Martin Nickels. "Kroger is focused on the introduction of our new ClickList service -- order online, pick up curbside -- in cities across the U.S., including Dallas-Fort Worth."The market is still trying to find the sweet spot that marries program profitability with consumer acceptance. Services such as Instacart deliver groceries from established retailers including Target and Whole Foods Market. Livingston said some services use Uber drivers. Looking ahead, "maybe a driverless Google car will bring your groceries" one day, Livingston joked.That means all players will have to be nimble. "I think Amazon is going to try this and see if it works out," he said. Related articles: In the bag: Amazon partners with Sprouts for grocery delivery in North Texas Amazon opens pop-up stores in Texas, other states... http://www.dallasnews.com/business/retail/2016/10/12/amazonfresh-makes-shopping-delivery-serviceavailable-north-texas

How to Get Married During a Pandemic? With Tents, Masks and Fewer Guests - The Two River Times

There’s no way I can do it by myself,” Malloy said, noting that both her job and her husband’s job are stressful. Matt is a tugboat captain who was then working three weeks on, three weeks off in Texas.The Malloys were able to use their original photographer, DJ and florist, but Deo had to procure a tent, caterer, tables, seating and more. They used Brennan’s Delicatessen in Rumson for the food and Bay Ave. Bakery in Highlands for the cake. In the end they spent more than their original budget for the wedding which Deo said is not unusual for a tent wedding.“Don’t be surprised if your budget is going to be a little bit more, or equal to where you were with your venue,” she said, which always catches people off-guard. “You are no longer in a venue with a roof over your head, with air conditioning and heat and tables and chairs and staff and everything else. You are now in the middle of a backyard or farm… and we’re bringing in every single fork, every chair, every plate, every light, every everything, and you’re building this atmosphere or this vibe out of nothing.”“To create that wedding atmosphere and everything that goes into it is a lot of money,” Deo said.The Malloys invited about 185 guests to the October wedding and ended up with about 120, a hundred fewer than their... https://tworivertimes.com/how-to-get-married-during-a-pandemic-with-tents-masks-and-fewer-guests/

Longtime CEO of Wedel’s Nursery remembered for love of faith, family, fishing and flowers - mlive.com

But one thing is for certain — it will stay in the family.Known for his joy of bringing people together for picnics and BBQs on Sunday afternoons, George Wedel also loved fishing and the Detroit Tigers — his two biggest passions outside of his faith and love for plants, his children said.Each year, he would look forward to trips to Drummond Island to go perch fishing, Lake Erie to fish for walleye and an annual trip to Detroit for a ballgame, Schwartz said. Andy Wedel recalled trips to the South Haven pier as a child to catch perch.In addition to fishing, Andy Wedel recalled growing up in “gardens so big a child could get lost in” them and “Detroit Tiger baseball blaring over the little AM radio sitting out on the post.”“I think he has been part of making this county more beautiful,” Schwartz said. “All the trees, shrubs and plants that have been put in all over Kalamazoo County. Our business is 74 years old, just think how many things have been planted around here.“He had a work ethic was like no other and it’s really just why I feel our business has survived and done so well.”A visitation for Wedel will take place from 3-6 p.m. Sunday, June 28, at Country Christian Evangelical Free Church, 9286 36th St. in Scotts. The funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Monday, June 29, at the church.
