On May 24, 2018, Kroger announced they were acquiring Home Chef for $200 million with an additional $500 million in incentives if certain targets were met by Home Chef.[5][6][7] The acquisition closed during the end of June 2018 and the meal kits began to be stocked at Kroger stores in the middle of 2018.[8][9]
Overview
Home Chef is a meal delivery service that provides a box of pre-portioned fresh ingredients directly to consumers that are ready to cook. With distribution centers in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Lithonia, Georgia, Home Chef delivers meals to all of the lower 48 states.[10] Each meal kit comes with recyclable packaging, pre-portioned ingredients, and meal instructions. The rotating menu includes up to 15 meals[11] for dinner, and the company also provides a weekly breakfast, lunch, smoothie and fruit basket option.[12]
History
Founder and CEO, Patrick Vihtelic started Home Chef in June 2013.[13] In September 2016, the company raised $40 million in funding from consumer-focused private equity fund L Catterton.[14] In late 2017, Home Chef started selling their products through Walmart, in addition to its website.[15]
The meal kits were available in select Kroger and Walgreens locations at the end of 2018.[16]
In early 2019, Home Chef added a customization feature, where the user can swap the protein, double the amount of protein or upgrade to a higher grade of protein by using the website.[17]
In August 2019, Home Chef launched Fresh and Easy, another meal kit provider and food delivery service.[18]
