Why do I need a another grocery store? I would answer yes because grocery store are institutions that actually define communities. Every community has one and every person needs one. When you have a community that is lack look at the grocery stores in walking distance.
In the city of St.Paul it is made up of 17 neighborhoods. The east side of St.Paul is made up of one -third of the city. A full scale grocery store doesn't make since to those who live near by. We want to be specialty store that focuses on affordable food in four areas: Fruits and Vegetables, Fresh and frozen meats, dairy products, and beverages. We believe if we can bring affordability and access to families who need food.
We are no just a retailer but a storehouse!
