OUR COMMITMENT TO THE PARTNERSHIP FOR A HEALTHIER AMERICA
In November 2011, The Fresh Grocer supermarket chain made a commitment to the Partnership for a Healthier America, which works with honorary chair First Lady Michelle Obama and the private sector to end the childhood obesity epidemic within a generation, to increase access to healthy, affordable food in communities that are currently underserved by opening five new full service supermarkets over the next five years. The five new Fresh Grocers will sell a variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, dairy, and fresh prepared food products and will open over a period of five years, serving approximately 795,000 people and creating approximately 1,000 jobs.
The Fresh Grocer’s Wellness Plaza location, which opened on November 9, 2012 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, is the first of these five new stores. The opening of the 50,000 square foot Fresh Grocer has created over 300 new jobs in the community and is the neighborhood’s first full service supermarket in over 20 years, bringing fresh food access to nearly 90,000 people.
