NEW YORK CITY — Urban Edge Properties, a New York City-based management company, has launched dedicated grab-and-go shopping services at select retail properties in New York and New Jersey. Urban Edge will offer short-term parking spaces located near stores that allow shoppers to pick up items ordered online or briefly enter the store. The spaces are designed to limit the amount of time customers physically spend in stores and to emphasize social distancing as retailers gradually begin to reopen their stores amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Urban Edge has launched the new service at 16 properties, including Bergen Town Center and Hudson Mall in Jersey City and Burnside Commons in New York. Additional properties will launch the program throughout June and July. Restaurant and other essential retailers are already using the parking spots.
