Consumers are dynamic not static and one company
regular readers of this know is just as dynamic as consumers, that company is Everytable a favorite of our own
Grocerant Guru®,
Steven Johnson. At
Everytable “quality and equality” are top of mind. It’s Everytable’s goal to offer
healthy, made-from-scratch meals that everyone can afford. Differentiation does not
mean different it means familiar but with a twist, and Everytable is doing that
better than most.
Everytable
began focusing on grocerant niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh better for
you food back in 2015. It was seen as a
revolutionary grab-and-go restaurant concept with delicious, high-quality,
made-from-scratch meals priced according to what a specific neighborhood can
afford (variable / index location pricing).
Today, Everytable
is now a multi-channel, fresh-prepared food business blending markets,
SmartFridges, and subscription delivery (and pickup) throughout Los Angeles and
Orange County, California. Meals are prepared by chefs at a single central
kitchen to reduce costs, and those savings are passed on to guests — meal
prices start at $4.95 in underserved neighborhoods, and $6.95 in middle-income
or affluent communities.
Everytable, is seeking to end food
inequality by making healthy food affordable, convenient and accessible for
all, has received a total of $2.5 million in program-related investments (PRI)
from Annenberg Foundation and The California Wellness Foundation (Cal Wellness)
to support the development and implementation of a pioneering social equity
franchise program.

Southern California over the next five years.”
Sam Polk, co-founder and CEO, Everytable stated “At Everytable, our core mission is to
push against structural inequality, first through the pricing and accessibility
of our healthy food offerings, and second by hiring from the low-to-moderate
income communities we serve,” … “Now, with this extraordinary and meaningful
funding from Annenberg Foundation and Cal Wellness, we can expand our
socio-economic impact through the development of a franchise training and

might not be able to access capital, to bring affordable and nutritious food
into their communities and participate in the profits and capital gains from
the success of their businesses.”
