We appreciate Spectrum News and Shalon Stevens for spotlighting Bargain Grocery in their recent segment. We are located in a Utica NY neighborhood with limited transportation, our store provides affordable, nutritious food options to a diverse community, including a significant refugee population.
This coverage comes at a crucial time, as findings from Cornell University’s Wage Atlas Tool reveal that only about 50% of New Yorkers earn a living wage. Bargain Grocery strives to offer a sustainable shopping model that allows customers to choose from a variety of essential items at reasonable prices.
The story of Bargain Grocery is one of community empowerment and resilience. By situating our store within easy walking distance for many residents, we are breaking down barriers to healthy eating and supporting a model of inclusivity. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality food that supports their well-being and respects their budget.
