Food benefits doubled as Greater Good Grocery celebrates one-year anniversary
“Although the store is open for everyone to shop, Greater Good Grocery launched as a way to address a need in the North Side of Binghamton. The section of the city was designated a food desert with no access to fresh, healthy foods, for 25 years. People relied on gas stations for food, or had to travel to shop at a grocery store.
Middleton has been with the store since the beginning, when it opened a year ago. She said products were limited then and they built inventory based on customers’ suggestions.
‘We pride ourselves in getting things that the customers need because the store is a community store.'”
