Interesting.
Up here in Albany New York one of the complaints by the Inner City Community is that there is a lack of large chain grocery stores in their communities.
After Ferguson I can see the small and large grocery chains just lining up to get in the neighborhoods.
Never understood why all these Billionaire Liberals don’t spend their money helping the poor people DIRECTLY rather than bribing the government to do it. Ya know like the guy who purchased the LA team.
Same here in the Tulsa metro where the north side of town is in a "food desert" after the recent shutdown of the only supermarket in the area. It was previously a large chain (Albertson's) but they pulled out about 6-7 years ago then a local guy that has a small chain of "mercados" in the Hispanic community tried it in the same building. He shut down for the same reason(s): couldn't make money, was being ripped off by the community and employees.
For anybody who can't wrap their mind around being ripped off by a community that truly needs access to a proper grocery/supermarket, take a field trip to your local Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. to find a supermarket. Upon entering, go directly to the Health and Beauty Aids aisle and notice how much of the merchandise is behind a locked door and compare that to your usual shopping location. You now should fully understand and conclude your field trip while your vehicle still has its tires/wheels attached.
