Buying groceries — sounds simple, right? Not necessarily. A report from June, 2009 found that 22% of households in the United States are located in low income urban areas at a distance of 1/2 to 1 mile from a supermarket — with no access to a vehicle.
Once we've received your story, we'll check it briefly, respond with any questions and then publish it. During the review process, your Grocery Story may be edited for content. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Re/Storing Nashville wants to hear from you! We want to hear your story about a memorable trip (or just your last one) to the grocery store. What were you buying? Was is for a special event? Did you find what you were looking for? Were you happy with the product (was it fresh and of good quality)?
