As we do not currently offer delivery, when/if the Mercato App prompts you for an address at checkout, choose the option, “I’ll pick it up.” If you do enter your address, the program will alert you that delivery is not available, and you can continue to choose one of (6) pickup time slots between 10:00 a.m. and Noon. If all next-day slots are filled, you will see the next available option.
