Birmingham neighbourhood gets its first grocery store in nearly 70 years

Fountain Heights, a neighbourhood in Birmingham, Alabama, has opened the We All Eat Market after nearly seven decades without a grocery store. The $1 million project was developed by a local farming cooperative. Funding came from $30,000 in grassroots contributions and $150,000 from the city. The market plans to sell locally grown produce, support small farmers and offer discounts to eligible shoppers.
