What other food chances were available in the neighborhoods where grocery stores closed?

What were the prices of the groceries?

Is it comparable to pre-existing shops?

Grocery environment

We talked about how people feel when shopping. We don’t have an idea of what types of food, how fresh, etc. I will cross state lines to go to a Publix. There’s not enough information to say exactly why these stores failed

Were the food choices offered in the failed grocery stores consistent with the cultural diversity in the neighborhood?

Profit margins

The article discusses the narrow profit margins of large grocery stores. If they are in an underserved, in some cases underpopulated, area, they may not sell enough to meet margins. How do they fix this? Sell old food? Raise prices? This may drive people to other stores

Food Choices

Were food choices in the grocery stores representative of the neighborhood they were in?

Food availability

The food that is available at the store can influence if people want to come in or not. This can also affect quality if they are not being rotated so when people buy the food it’s about to expire.

What was the accessibility like at the store itself? (i.e. two floors? Tough parking? Bad area?)

The articles in the meta-analysis had studies that varied in location. Can a conclusion truly be generated when comparing cities vs suburbs vs rural areas?

Side Note

I think this is ironically reflecting the reality of the current vision of the administration. Very much encompassing the meaning of “amathia”

Accessibility of food for different cultures that is native to their region?
