Popular Grocery Store Known for Affordable Food Closes All Locations
Popular Massachusetts-area grocery store Daily Table has announced that it will be closing all of its locations.
"With heavy hearts, we share that Daily Table will be closing our doors within the next few days. This was not an easy decision. For the past 10 years, we have had the honor of serving neighborhoods across Greater Boston, working alongside our community to make affordable, nutritious food accessible to all," read a statement posted on the Daily Table's official website.
"We are proud to have served over 3 million customers, returning over $16 million in savings to the community while removing the barriers to healthy food," the statement continued.
The company cited challenges it faced in light of the coronavirus pandemic as well as inflation as its reasons for shutting down its operations.
All five of its original locations — Central Square, Dorchester, Roxbury, Salem, and Mattapan — were scheduled to close on May 12.
"Our stores will be working to sell our inventory over the next several days, and we invite you to come shop one last time. All items will be deeply discounted until we cease operations," the Daily Table's website reads.
The nonprofit organization believes in its model and feels confident it "can be replicated elsewhere."
Daily Table was founded by Doug Rauch, the former president of Trader Joe's, in 2012. Rauch was dedicated to the idea that "everyone should have access to affordable, high-quality, and nutritious food, regardless of means."
Daily Table opened its fifth location in Salem, MA, in 2023.
