Picnic Basket Deliveries

Merienda Picnic is an On-Demand Service Perfect for Summer Weekends

— July 7, 2015 — Lifestyle
Packing the perfect picnic can be a chore not many people are up for, yet Merienda Picnic takes the work out of it in order for a truly enjoyable and relaxing time. Merienda Picnic is an on-demand service that delivers full stocked baskets in under an hour. Although launched in New Orleans, it's a service that many cities will want to benefit from, especially as summer gets into full swing.

With baskets ranging from $45 to $1000, Merienda Picnic works with local cheese, charcuterie and wine shops to provide high-quality goods for the baskets. Founded by Andrea Hernandez, the baskets can be custom built to match the theme of events such as a surprise engagement, brunch or a girls day out.

2. Customizable Picnic Experiences - Offering customizable picnic baskets that can match the theme of events like surprise engagements or girls' day out can provide a unique and personalized experience for customers.
3. Collaboration with Local Shops - Partnering with local cheese, charcuterie, and wine shops to curate high-quality goods for picnic baskets can boost local businesses and create a mutually beneficial relationship.
Industry Implications

2. Event Planning - Event planning companies can incorporate on-demand picnic services as part of their offerings, providing clients with unique and hassle-free picnic experiences for various occasions.
3. Local Specialty Stores - Local specialty stores, such as cheese, charcuterie, and wine shops, can explore partnerships with on-demand picnic services to expand their customer base and showcase their products in curated picnic baskets.
