• Posted on: Why few grocery stores come to Richmond

  Hi Chris, Thanks for reading and commenting. My understanding is that Williams Natural Foods has stopped selling fresh produce. Target and Costco do sell food items, although my understanding is that Costco requires an annual membership fee, which may be an issue for some families. It's also worth nothing that all three of these stores are located near the interstate on the edge of town, which may still be a far distance to travel if you live in, say, North Richmond. It's also true that there are small produce markets in town like those on 23rd Street. However, I've spoken to families who say that while they try to patron those stores, they often find themselves traveling to grocery stores in El Cerrito because they can't get all the food items they need at these places, which means they end up spending more time, gas and money to get their grocery shopping done. Just something to consider. -Mitzi #
