SOUTH BRONX “Having failed to stop the city from subsidizing FreshDirect” move to the Bronx, a group of South Bronx residents and activists is ready to try a new tact: boycott.
Their only problem is, since the online grocer only delivers to three zip codes in the northern Bronx, they must recruit sympathizers in the other boroughs to stop ordering from FreshDirect, which they hope will convince the company to rethink its plan to shift operations from Queens to the Bronx.
So far, the group, which calls itself South Bronx Unite, has launched a website, boycottfreshdirect.com, and an online petition that has garnered more than 115 signatures.
