LOWCOUNTRY STREET GROCERY

Lowcountry Street Grocery (LSG) is a mission-driven, mobile farmers’ market designed to make healthy, local food affordable and accessible for Charleston residents. Sales and operations will take place aboard a classic retrofitted school bus that will travel across Their Lowcountry service area. Following a pre-determined bus route, Their mobile market will set up shop at multiple convenient locations six days a week, making the farmers’ market experience more convenient and accessible tha... n ever. It is Their belief that the mobile market approach offers an inherent competitive advantage and unique opportunity to do well as a business while doing good in Their community. Capitalizing on greater flexibility than brick-and-mortar stores, the LSG bus will move between areas of high demand that are profit-generating, and areas of concentrated need, where healthy food access is currently limited. In this way, They will reach market segments that would otherwise remain underserved, while continuing to foster the strong economic ties between producers and consumers that are so essential to a thriving local food economy.More
