Sarah Flieder has lived in central Topeka for the past six years and used to have easy access to groceries. That was before the Dillons store near her house closed in 2016. "The closest place now is the Dollar General on 10th street," she said. "That is quite a bit of a walk." Flieder and other Topekans in the area could have some relief if the Central Topeka Grocery Oasis Group has its way. The group, which has advocated for central Topeka's grocery store needs in recent years, is working with GraceMed to try to build a store next to its building at S.W. 12th Street and Washburn Avenue.
