(ST. LOUIS) — rootberry, St. Louis’ new plant-based meal delivery service, announces today a partnership with Dierbergs Markets to sell its freshly prepared plant-based meals, salads, shareables and desserts in 24 Dierbergs Markets across the greater St. Louis metropolitan area and southern Illinois. The local grocer is the first exclusive retail partner of the St. Louis plant-based company which launched in July as an online home and office delivery service. The dedicated rollout plan to appear in Dierbergs Markets begins this month. The rollout continues to new stores weekly through September and October with all 24 locations anticipated to sell rootberry products by November 1. rootberry will continue to offer its one hundred percent, plant-based dishes for online ordering and local delivery.
“rootberry was made to create access to delicious food that just happens to be plant-based, and to make those healthy options more accessible in the community,” says rootberry Co-Founder Marc Connor. “Some people want the food delivered to their doorstep, and others want it at their neighborhood grocery store. We’re happy to offer our consumers both options and could not be more proud to have the Dierberg family in our corner, supporting the mission to help more people eat more plants more often.”
Dierbergs Markets will offer a wide range of rootberry’s chef- and nutritionist-developed dishes, along with seasonal and new menu items in the future. Guests can expect shareables, entrees, snacks and desserts in-store with prices ranging from $5.99-$11.99. Entrees include rootberry best-sellers such as the gluten-free Peanut Buddha Bowl, Aztec Enchiladas, Tikka Masala, Lemon Risotto and Portabella, and Classic Lasagna, and Spaghetti and Rootballs. Shareables are meant to be enjoyed by a group of 2-4 with crowd pleasing comfort dishes including Chili Mac, Chickpea Salad, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Chili Cheese Dip and more. Rounding out the offerings are salads and sweets with options like Spring Roll in a Bowl, Soy-Ginger Superfood Salad, and Chocolate Chip Cookies, Fudge Brownies, and Raspberry Oat Bars.
“Dierbergs has always been committed to sourcing high-quality ingredients, offering our customers something unique, and partnering with local companies,” said Greg Dierberg, President and CEO of Dierbergs Markets. “With rootberry, we’re doing all three. When we first learned of rootberry’s mission, we thought they would be a good fit; but then we tried the food, we were sold! rootberry is a game changer in the plant-based meal category.”
rootberry is motivated by the motto, “more plants, more people, more often” with a focus to not only make for a healthier person, but a healthier community, and the step to make meals available through various points of retail is an important piece. rootberry products will make their way into each Dierbergs location in St. Louis and Illinois and will be available in a dedicated space in the prepared foods section near the deli.
