Be a Part of Your Community

Connect with your community. Sponsor clubs and events. Hold food drives. Make the first move by putting out bins and placing a few items of your own in them. Work with local nonprofits to donate food that you might throw out, but that is still good. Listen to what your community wants. Maybe there are a lot of vegans in your area who are being underserved, or maybe your community cares about buying local. The most successful grocery stores respond to what their communities need.
