Thoughtfully curated, culturally relevant, locally sourced.

With an extensive network of Nori machines across the city, our healthy products will be accessible with a short stroll down the street. Our hot meals are thoughtfully curated to be culturally relevant, and our produce is sourced locally. Plus, Nori aims to accept EBT for accessibility & inclusivity.

But Nori’s not just about convenience; we're committed to making a social impact. We subsidize the cost of our products in less privileged areas using the proceeds from machines in more privileged areas, ensuring that everyone can enjoy quality, nutritious options.

The American food desert crisis.

Food deserts are geographic areas where residents face a lack of convenient access to healthy, affordable, and fresh foods.

Food deserts represent a critical issue in many communities, especially in urban and rural area. In these underserved neighborhoods, grocery stores and markets are often scarce, making it challenging for individuals and families to maintain a balanced diet. The consequences of living in a food desert can have a significant impact on public health, as limited access to nutritious options can lead to a higher prevalence of diet-related health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
