NORTH LAWNDALE COMMUNITY

Grocery store the lawndale grocery store advances north lawndale's vision for a healthy and vibrant community. North lawndale has needed a full-service high- quality grocer for decades. Lack of access to fresh food has worsened with the recent closure of walgreens on roosevelt and homan, where many residents, especially seniors, were purchasing their groceries. Nlccc has been working with oasis, a black-owned grocery operator with the mission to "eradicate food deserts by providing fresh and healthy access to all- and a successful store in tulsa, oklahoma, to create a lawndale store that will include fresh meat and produce, deli items, a bakery, and dry goods. We have identified 3 potential sites on roosevelt road and are working with the local alderwoman to assist with land assembly. Nlccc received an updated market study from awg in september 2024 to provide sales projections based upon a footprint of 20,000-25,000 sf per the request of oasis. To finalize a site, we are working with the chicago trend corporation, a social enterprise. We believe that we can do a project of this magnitude for between 7.5-8.5 million.
