Daily Table
Daily Table is an American chain of low price grocery stores.[1]
History
Daily Table was founded in 2012 by Doug Rauch, the former president of Trader Joe's.[1] The not-for-profit company aims to sell healthy food at a price point suitable for working low-income families. Daily Table sells inexpensive produce and pre-packaged meals.[2] Its prices are significantly lower than the lowest options at a traditional grocery store. Daily Table considers itself the first not-for-profit supermarket of its kind.[3]
Daily Table opened its first store in Dorchester, Massachusetts, on June 4, 2015.[2] It has since opened up stores in Roxbury, Massachusetts and Cambridge, Massachusetts.[4]
The Dorchester store is set up like a boutique grocery with wood crates and a window to a food preparation area.[3] The company has plans to expand to Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.[2]
