Norms has pivoted to a model similar to a meal delivery service, charging a $35 flat rate for family-sized mixes of proteins, vegetables, starches and ancillary ingredients needed to prepare a particular meal. A New York Strip care package, for example, comes with six 8-ounce strip steaks, six baked potatoes, 1.5 pounds of vegetables, 2 pounds of yellow onion and a bottle of Norms steak sauce.
“We’re trying to give back to the community,” said Norms Chief Executive Mike Colonna. “We have limited stock available, but … we think we could be a short-term outlet (for groceries).”
