80,000 residents and two grocery stores 😳.
Think about that for a second:
- 40,000 per store.
- If each store has 13 aisles, that's 3,076 people per aisle.
I am not sure how many items rest on shelves per aisle, but 3,000 sounds reasonable. Since that number is close to 3,076 people, it sounds like food runs out often unless re-stocking is frequent.
OK, maybe I am reaching. But, probably not as well.
For some residents east of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, a grocery store desert 🏜 has its way. A change is coming, however, as Ward 7 will receive a Giant Food store.
🍾 🥂 🎉 🍾 🥂 🎉 !
I am sensitive to food deserts because they do not make sense. Why do residents have to make a big effort to buy groceries?
The new grocery store is fantastic news for residents of Ward 7 in DC, and hopefully their kitchen pantries and wallets will reap the dividends.
The number of grocery stores in an area has the propensity to create healthy and positive mindsets. When residents know they're well-being is a priority, they feel it, can think it, and can act accordingly.
For Ward 7 residents and anyone passing through, shop like a champ!
