It’s a place for everybody.
The Local Community Food Centre’s market store re-opened to the public with a celebration on Friday.
Food Logistics Manager Jenn Parsons told MyStratfordNow it could be one-stop shopping.
“So when I hear ‘oh well I still have to go elsewhere to get this product’ that hurts me because I would love for everybody to be here, getting everything they need so they don’t have to be running around, doing their shopping elsewhere.”
Product expansion makes it a more well-rounded market.
The store includes new coolers, display cases for cold produce, four lanes to pick up products, and expanded checkout areas.
Parsons said there are also new products available.
“I’ve started to have paper products in here, we’ve expanded our baking section so we have flour, sugar, the basics you need for baking a cake or spices.”
Parsons hopes residents can also enjoy a meal at the Local while browsing through the market.
It will be open Mondays from 4 to 6 p.m. and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
