A nonprofit, Healthy Community Store Initiative, recently celebrated the grand opening of their first micro-grocery store located at the Tulsa Pythian Manor Apts for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Healthy Community Store Initiative officials says Tulsa has a real problem with grocery store availability and says 45% of people live in areas with limited access. Senior citizens make up 10% of those people.
The nonprofit told FOX23 they started their mobile grocery store in 2014 and serve 17,000 people, but want to do more.
After receiving a grant and 200 sq. feet from the senior living center, the group was able to open the Pythian Market Micro Grocery Store, which is run by and for seniors.
The Groups says since they’ve opened the location, sales have gone up 136%
Officials say they’re planning to open more grocery markets like this one to replicate the project and help those in areas of need.
