Indie Plate announced this week it is moving away from the grocery delivery concept that helped launch the company in 2013 to focus instead on its rapidly growing dinner-to-door service.
In an email to its customers and followers, co-founders Ben Bartage and Peru Sharma, say, “Removing the grocery business is a bittersweet move for us, especially since it is how we began, but in the end we did not have the manpower to juggle both groceries and meal kits.”

Indie Plate, which originally focused on delivering locally sourced, farm-fresh groceries to customers, expanded its services in January to include dinner-to-door meal kits and subscriptions.
