She further said that the company is would be reaching customers in the northen and central parts of New Jersey.
Further from the reports, the service is available in parts of Somerset, Passaic, Monmouth, Middlesex, Mercer, Hudson, Essex, Burlington, Bergen and Union counties. Customers can enter the zip code of their area to check the availability of delivery service and if the delivery service is not available in the area, customers can also sign up to be notified when the area is added in the service list.
