"It's like they're in Englewood, so they don't deserve fresh fruit and vegetables and stuff – they'll take what they can give us," said Darlene Green."No," she said."I can't afford to feed this to my grandson." "We want a fresh, affordable, preferably Black-owned – but we want a grocery operator that's going to have employees that look like us in our community," Coleman said.
"We are here to reopen this store to provide a service in this neighborhood," said co-owner Michael Nance, a founder of Yellow Banana."We've gotten feedback from that community. They want a meeting with Save A Lot corporate. We've heard that from them loud and clear."
