Goop Kitchen, the delivery and pickup service founded by Gwyneth Paltrow, is expanding to New York City after five years of success in California and the Bay Area. The health-focused brand, which began as a pandemic pivot from a planned Brentwood, Calif., restaurant, now operates 14 locations nationwide. $20,000 a day revenue from its top spots highlights its rapid adoption, with nearly $7 million annual revenue per location on average. The move to NYC responds to demand for its gluten-free pesto pasta and chicken Caesar wraps, popular among Manhattanites seeking convenient, wellness-aligned meals.

The company’s ghost kitchens—delivery-only operations without dine-in spaces—allow scalable growth while maintaining cost efficiency. Chef Kim Floresca, formerly of Per Se and El Bulli, oversees menu development, blending gourmet techniques with Goop’s health-centric ethos. This expansion underscores the surge in demand for flexible, digital-first food services, particularly in urban hubs where time-constrained consumers prioritize convenience.

Paltrow, Goop Kitchen’s co-founder, praised the brand’s “product and market fit” during its 2021 launch, noting its unexpected success. The separation of Goop Kitchen from the broader Goop brand—despite shared branding and leadership—reflects its evolution into a standalone revenue driver. With 40,000+ weekly customers, the service exemplifies how lifestyle brands can leverage e-commerce models to dominate niche markets.

Why NYC matters: The city’s competitive food delivery landscape and affluent customer base align with Goop Kitchen’s premium positioning. By tapping into existing demand for curated, health-focused meals, the expansion signals a strategic shift toward geographic diversification and long-term growth in the post-pandemic economy.
