Chicago-based grocery startup Dom’s Kitchen & Market, founded by veteran supermarket executive Bob Mariano, has raised $15 million in seed funding, reports Grocery Dive. This brings the total capital the grocer has raised to $25 million and helps build momentum for Dom’s as it prepares for the June opening of its first location.
Mariano, founder of Roundy’s and Mariano’s Fresh Market, is partnering with Jay Owen, grandson of Dominick’s founder Dominick DiMatteo, and Don Fitzgerald, a former executive at Roundy’s on the business.
"Dom’s will be a neighborhood destination where consumers can drop in several times per week, explore new foods, watch the cooking process in open preparation areas, participate in a wine tasting class, dine in, or take home prepared foods or cooking ingredients," Owen said in a statement back in June 2020, when Dom’s was first announced.
