Daily Table

Daily Table was 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 aimed to sell healthy food at a price point suitable for working low-income families. Daily Table sold inexpensive produce and pre-packaged meals.[2] Its prices were significantly lower than the lowest options at a traditional grocery store. Daily Table considered itself the first not-for-profit supermarket of its kind.[3] In early 2014, Sasha Purpura was appointed CEO.[4]

Daily Table opened its first store in Dorchester, Massachusetts, on June 4, 2015.[2] It subsequently opened stores in Roxbury, Massachusetts, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Mattapan, Massachusetts and Salem, Massachusetts.[5]

The Dorchester store was set up like a boutique grocery with wood crates and a window to a food preparation area.[3] The company had plans to expand to Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.[2]

On May 12, 2025, Daily Table discontinued operations, citing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and historically high levels of food price increases which made sustaining Daily Table increasingly difficult.[6] Rauch said, "The final straw was the current funding climate, including freezes on USDA grants."[7][8]
