Rural Grocers and Food Deserts: How Market Consolidation Limits Rural Food Access

Description: Rural grocery stores are the heart of many rural communities across Minnesota. Even so, rural grocers are facing intense economic stressors, many facing potential closures. Nearly half of all rural grocers surveyed in Minnesota expressed concerns of going out of business in the next five years.
