Loudoun Now: The National Hosts Drive-Thru Market
APRIL 24, 2020—The market gave customers the chance to purchase directly from three companies that normally supply restaurants, but amid the COVID-19 pandemic and restaurants scaling back business, they have begun selling directly to consumers.
The market, from 10 a.m. to noon, featured seafood distributor Profish, Ltd., Metropolitan Meat, Seafood & Poultry Company, and produce and dairy distributor Coastal Sunbelt. Customers could order boxes of meat, fish, and produce ahead of time and stay in their vehicles while workers took those orders directly off the delivery truck and loaded them in customers’ vehicles.
