Parkrose Grocery Revival Aims for November | Portland News
Description
Portland’s Parkrose neighborhood is rallying to revive its grocery scene with a new community-driven store, Parkrose Grocery, set to open by November. Former Grocery Outlet owner Don McKeever and nonprofit Historic Parkrose are raising $30K by end of September to fund startup costs, including a new checkout system, after two major stores—Gateway Fred Meyer and the Parkrose Grocery Outlet—closed recently. Backed by City Council President Jamie Dunphy, this initiative aims to prevent food deserts in East Portland by bringing fresh, affordable food directly to the community. With tiered donation perks and local support, the project is a grassroots effort to nourish the neighborhood—one checkout at a time.
