Though the bulk of Green Apple’s business is pickup and delivery, there are now three storefront locations in New York and three in New Jersey with two more planned this year. New York City’s storefronts are located in the West Village at 92 Greenwich Avenue between 7th and 8th Streets, and in Midtown at 1187 2nd Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Streets.
