While much of its growth has been close to home, the newest acquisition for York-based Stonewall Kitchen is a departure of sorts.
The specialty food retailer has purchased Urban Accents Inc., a Chicago producer of spices, seasonings, sauces and other gourmet products, for an undisclosed price. The acquisition is the fifth for Stonewall, and the third since the company itself changed ownership in July 2019.
Urban Accents was founded in 1996 by partners Tom Knibbs and Jim Dygas, who began by blending a few spices in their kitchen. Today, the business has over 150 spice blends and other gourmet products, a 30,000-square-foot production facility, and deals with stores including Whole Foods, Macy’s and Safeway.
