Our Fearless Leaders in Dorchester!

Meet Dorchester Store Manager Veronica Hemingway and Assistant Store Manager Gamalier “Gee” Pinet of Dorchester! They have worked at Daily Table for many years and have created life-long friendships with their customers and fellow coworkers.

“Everybody is just like a little family. Everybody is so close knit.” Veronica says. Sure, we've got affordable, good-for-you eats, but we're also all about investing in the communities we call home. We really are so much more than just a grocery store!
