New Effort To Open A Grocery Store In Albany's South End


3:27
Plans are in the works to bring a full-service grocery store to Albany's South End.
One by one, stores that sold staples like bread, milk and eggs have shuttered in the South End community, which has created a food desert.
Trayvon Jackson is president of Blue Light Development Group representing the African American Cultural Center of the Capital Region
"The Rite Aid left the neighborhood and then the Walgreens more recently, as well as the Golden Fried Chicken and some other restaurants. And then, of course, the McDonald's. So in the course of two years, we lost, you know, anywhere from four to eight establishments from the same corridor. And it's put a lot of undue stress on the smaller bodegas and medium sized grocery, that can't really afford to carry that diversity of our product range. So moving into that McDonald's site, and developing it the way we're thinking is a good solution to that."
