The Corner Grocery: Creating Community

Can the corner grocery store bring prosperity to a community? Consumers are making more trips to drug, club, and dollar stores, and taking precious community money out of their neighborhoods. City Visions talks with Bay Area businesses that are re-circulating the food dollars to bring health and wealth to local residents, farmers, and artisans.

Guests:

  • Brahm Ahmadi -- Founder, People's Community Market, co-founder People's Grocery
  • Sam Mogannam -- Owner, San Francisco's Bi-Rite Market and co-author of "Eat Good Food: A Grocer’s Guide to Shopping, Cooking & Creating Community Through Food"
  • Bill Fujimoto -- Consultant, former co-owner and operator of Berkeley independent produce retailer, Monterey Market

 
Producer: Lisa Denenmark
