What a great addition to the revitalization of the Chester community. The opportunity to be able to purchase quality grocery at a fair price is eccentrically a blessing. I often wondered why the least fortunate is most times forced to pay the most for their goods. One in particular, gasoline. The highest prices for gas is in the poorest communities. God bless the ones who had the courage to take on this project and bring it to reality.
