Boston-based prepared meal delivery service Feast & Fettle has acquired Bountiful Kitchen, a dinner service company, also in Boston, focused on locally sourced ingredients. Julian Cohen, founder of Bountiful, will join the Feast & Fettle team as director of product partnerships.
"We were very impressed with the traction that the team at Bountiful was able to achieve in such a short period of time—it's reminiscent of where Feast & Fettle was just a few years ago," said Feast & Fettle CEO, Carlos Ventura, in a statement. "Once we learned Julian shared our vision of providing unparalleled quality and service whilst supporting local food ecosystems, we knew he would immediately add value to our team."
This acquisition, a first for the company, will enable Feast & Fettle to leverage Bountiful's existing customer and vendor relationships in the Boston metropolitan area, whilst leveraging its own technology and production capacity to better serve those customers.
"The team at Feast & Fettle is methodically scaling up meal delivery, while still personalizing the experience for the customer and staying true to the local community," said Cohen in a statement. "I'm ecstatic to join the F&F team and continue Bountiful's mission to bring community and comfort to dinner tables in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and beyond."
