A “healthy corner store” is a corner store or convenience store offering healthier foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, low-sodium canned goods, low-fat dairy options, and whole grains. These healthier food choices provide benefits to lower-income communities and neighborhoods with limited access to public and private transportation that often rely on corner stores as their main grocer.
The Good Food Here - Healthy Corner Store effort is an initiative of Public Health – Dayton & Montgomery County. It is funded by the Communities Preventing Chronic Disease grant.
