We just got word that Red Apple Supermarket at Myrtle and Ashland will be opening bright and early Monday morning at 7am. Opening day will include a ribbon cutting at 9:30am, so come on out and enjoy the festivities!

The new store hours will be M-Sa from 7a-10p and Sundays from 7a-9p.

MARP has been working closely with FUREE, District Leader Lincoln Restler, and Council Member Tish James, over the last 9 months or so to help ensure that the new Red Apple Supermarket will be responsive to the needs of the local community in terms of affordability, product mix, accessibility, and employment opportunities. Part of this effort included a very successful job fair held on September 25th at the Ingersoll Community Center, where 55 local residents were hired, including one of MARP's former summer YEMP students. Be sure to come by on Monday or in the coming days and weeks to see what we hope will be very positive results from this collaborative effort.
