I Want To Save This Shoppers Because Some Residents Who Live In New Carrollton Won't Have A Grocery Store To Walk To From Their Houses. 

The Shoppers Food Warehouse in New Carrollton, MD, is more than just a grocery store; it's a vital community hub that has served our neighborhood for years. Its closure would leave a significant void in our community, where access to affordable and diverse groceries is already limited. Without it, many residents, especially those with limited transportation options, will have to travel further to access essential goods, increasing the burden on families and individuals alike.

Shoppers Food Warehouse has been a reliable source of fresh produce, quality meats, and everyday necessities, catering to a diverse population with varied dietary needs. For many in New Carrollton, it is the only convenient and economical option for grocery shopping, especially for seniors, low-income families, and those without cars.

Statistics show that nearly 17% of Prince George’s County residents live in areas with low access to grocery stores (United States Department of Agriculture, 2019). The closure of well-established stores like Shoppers contributes to food deserts, worsening public health and increasing food insecurity within the community. Moreover, this would mean the loss of jobs for numerous store employees, contributing to local economic decline.

We urge the management of Shoppers Food Warehouse and local government officials to investigate viable alternatives to closure, such as restructuring, community investment partnerships, or public funding support. By finding solutions that keep Shoppers open in New Carrollton, we can preserve the quality of life for residents and support our local economy.
