Buying Power of The South Side Overlooked

During an interview with Chicago Public Radio, North Kenwood resident Lauren McCadney says she chose to live in the South Side neighborhood because of its parks and affordability - but to shop for groceries or other household items, she has to get in her car and make a “destination trip” to a Dominick’s or Target. McCadney says she spends between $500-$700 a month for groceries, dining out, and trips to Target, money spent outside her community which she believes could ultimately support the business.

Dominick's is the new Whole Foods: a Near-West Side Dominick's grocery store was closed when a health inspector found both fruit flies and houseflies in a rear kitchen area and on storage boxes. The store, located at 1 N. Halsted, hopes to reopen later today. Dominick's spokeswoman Wynona Redmond said, "We go to great lengths for sanitation and we have some of the highest store standards in the food industry...The issue with fruit flies has been addressed, we took it very seriously."
