Grocery store one step closer to reality at Linwood Shopping Center

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Seeing construction on a new Sun Fresh grocery store is like a dream come true for Shawnese Howard, who has had to deal with a "food desert" in the area. She lives a few blocks away from the Linwood Shopping Center.

  5. With NO chance possible for continuing his political career in KCMO, Jermaine Reed will be working at this new City-financed grocery store.

    He'll be in the FRUIT department.

  6. Food desert my ass, wild woodys is five minutes from there, Aldi is 8 blocks down the street, Costco is 2 miles from there, there’s another grocery store on 39th and elmwood, take a guess, five minutes from there. This store cost the city 11 million to buy and they turned around and sold it for dirt. Just another one of many “prospect corridor” scams

  11. What a horrible plan. There are much better options than this, I think we should support solutions for this neighborhood but they don't involve an old grocery store that nobody wanted in the first place.

  12. Pretty sure they are putting this in a place where a grocery store failed and it was not that long ago. I lived on Benton and went in there once. It stunk like rotten meat. Give it a couple of month for the thefts, check passing and horrible workers and it will be closed too.
