Alexandra Foods' strategy, centered around community engagements and authenticity, fueled the company's expansion from a small Portage Park deli to 30 states.
The story of Alexandra Foods, a family-run business producing homemade Polish classics, is one of turning a foreign land into a place that feels like home through the power of the palate. Founded by Polish immigrants Mark and Alexandra Dembicki in 1992, the company transformed from a small deli in Portage Park, a predominately Polish neighborhood, into a prominent pin on the Chicagoland map. In 2021, Rich Berry, a seasoned executive passionate about the food industry, took over the helm of Alexandra Foods, promising to further drive its expansion while prioritizing the establishment's intimate feel.
