Grocery store one step closer to reality at Linwood Shopping Center

Seeing construction on a new Sun Fresh grocery store is like a dream come true for Shawnese Howard, who has had to deal with a "food desert" in the area. She lives a few blocks away from the Linwood Shopping Center. Right now, the closest grocery store to her is quite the haul. Kansas City Councilman Jermaine Reed helped with the efforts to bring the grocery store to the area. He remembers the last grocery store to occupy that area more than a decade ago.
