LinkLinks Washington Post: A nonprofit hoped to bring grocery stores to food deserts. Residents are still waiting. By Editor On Nov 27, 2020 Last updated Nov 27, 2020 63 Share The affordable grocery that was supposed to open in Seat Pleasant, Md., two years ago is still an empty storefront. Construction of a similar market in the District’s underserved Ward 8 is more than a year behind schedule. And even in the Langdon Park neighborhood of Northeast Washington, where Good Food Markets opened to rave reviews five years ago, the store is not profitable and has managed to survive only because of support from its parent company and public sector grants. 63 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
