Various Grocery Store Chains
Region:
United States of America

The Delano neighborhood of Wichita KS is a food desert. The closest grocery stores are 2.8 miles and 3.2 miles away. Locating a small or moderate sized grocery store in the Delano neighborhood would serve over 3000 homes in Delano plus thousands of others in the surrounding neighborhoods of Riverside, Sunflower, McCormick, and Downtown Wichita. Delano and Downtown Wichita have seen multiple apartments built in the years since the last neighborhood grocery store closed, which was at Douglas and Meridian.

The Wichita Food Desert map from p. 15 of the "Delano's Turn" report clearly shows Delano's need for a full service grocery store. The current draft of the 2018 Delano Revitalization Plan shows the diverse household incomes that would be able to support a budget friendly grocery chain.

By signing this petition I am asking a grocery store chain or an independent grocer to open a small or moderate sized grocery store in the Delano neighborhood of Wichita to affordable food to the residents and/or workforce in Delano, Riverside, Sunflower, McCormick, and Downtown Wichita.
