New York bodegas at war with 15-minute delivery apps | Video

New York (US), Dec 18 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Sarah Yenesel) The traditional bodegas or neighborhood stores in New York, economic engine and meeting point for many communities, are seeing their business jeopardized by the arrival of a series of food delivery companies that promise to deliver within minutes.

The bodegas fear that this competition will lead these businesses, almost all family-owned, to close definitively just when they were recovering from the impact of the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, according to Francisco Marte, president of the Association of Bodegas and Small Businesses, and Radhamés Rodríguez, from the United Bodegas of America.
