We have had the opportunity to work with local neighborhood market owners to highlight these new healthy food options with fresh store redesigns.
Juan has owned and operated 7&8 Market with his family for the past 18 years and recently has worked with LA Food Policy Council to bring more fresh produce and healthy options to his store near MacArthur Park.
To address significant storage needs, we worked with Juan to create a new dedicated storage area, a custom designed counter with lots of integrated shelving, and new shelves to help better utilize the existing space.
The store also gained large chalkboard signs to communicate inventory and pricing, along with a new logo and branding to help direct customers to the store.
We aim to help local business owners stabilize income and build relationships of support and safety within their neighborhoods.
Project Partners: Healthy Neighborhood Market Network and LA Food Policy Council.
