About Daily Table:
Daily Table provides affordable nutrition to those most in need, helping to eliminate hunger and the health-related challenges associated with a poor diet. Through an innovative not-for-profit retail grocery model, Daily Table addresses these challenges with a solution designed to be both financially sustainable and scalable. Led by Doug Rauch, former President of Trader Joe’s, Daily Table opened its first store on June 4, 2015 in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. With the recovery of excess, surplus food from growers, manufacturers and distributors, customers are offered a combination of fresh groceries and grab’n’go meals prepared in an onsite kitchen and available at truly affordable prices.
Since the launch of our first store in Dorchester, MA in June 2015 we have quickly grown a loyal membership base of 9,000 customers and over 65 food suppliers. We¹re incredibly excited about Daily Table¹s future and look forward to having more passionate and hardworking team members join our crew!
