Mississippi talks new grocery stores for different areas
SUMMARY: In Monroe County, Mississippi, many residents face challenges accessing healthy food due to “food deserts,” where grocery stores are scarce. Freshly’s Market, based in Aberdeen, is taking steps to address this issue by expanding to Smithville, which lacks a grocery store for over a decade. The grocery held a roundtable with local leaders and the National Grocers’ Association to discuss enhancing food access in under-served areas. CEO Katina Holliday emphasized the importance of supporting independent grocers for community well-being and economic development, noting that they provide job opportunities and pay above minimum wage for the region.
