The Black-led, community-owned grocery store is moving forward with a property on Woodward Avenue.
A food co-op more than 10 years in the making is a little bit closer to fruition. The Detroit Black Community Food Security Network (DBCFSN) has signed a purchase agreement, paid a down payment and is awaiting city approvals on a property located at 8324 Woodward Ave. in Detroit, the future site of the Detroit People’s Food Co-op.
“It’ll be a full-service grocery store that emphasizes what the industry calls natural and organic foods,” says Malik Yakini, the executive director of DBCFSN and a board member of the Detroit People’s Food Co-op.
