Philabundance, an organization dedicated to fight hunger in the Delaware County by supplying inexpensive, nutritious food to communities, announced on February 25th, 2012, that they are planning to open a supermarket in Chester by the Spring of 2013.<\/p>\n
Philabundance plans on buying a vacant building that once housed one of Chester’s old supermarkets. They are advertising the supermarket as a cheap way to get nutritious food for Chester, which has been classified as a food desert.<\/p>\n
This supermarket would be Chester’s first supermarket in over a decade, although there are markets like the Chester Co-op that sell nutritious food which can be purchased with food stamps.<\/p>\n
The market would also provide around 30 jobs to Chester citizens, although it is unknown whether people with previous felony records would be able to have a job in the market. However, the main goal is to supply cheap, sometimes free, nutritious food to Chester citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
