New Healthy Grocer Opens in North City

Video by KSDK

A new community grocery store, YOURS Market, opened just last week in St. Louis City. The 9000 sq. ft. market, located at 8005 N Broadway, features a wide variety of foods and fresh produce. The market will host nutrition education programs, a garden for growing produce, and eventually two greenhouses on site. This new store is an exiciting step towards addressing the "food deserts" that exist throughout much of North St. Louis City and County.

Old North Grocery Coop
A similar store opened earlier this summer just north of downtown. The Old North Grocery Co-op, located at 2718 N. 13th Street, features many fresh and healthy foods produced within 100 miles of the store. In addition to stocking food and household goods, the Old North Grocery Co-op provides a variety of cooking, food preservation, and nutrition classes as well as space for community events. The 13th Street Community Garden is located adjacent to the building and home to some very friendly egg-laying chickens. The Old North Grocery Co-op, the 13th Street Community Garden, and the nearby North City Farmers’ Market create a formidable axis of edible with the mission to provide affordable, fresh, healthy food to the community.
