Business Profile: Wirth Co-Op
Although unhealthy food options are plentiful in North Minneapolis, finding fresh, healthy, and natural food in the area is much more difficult. In North Minneapolis, 67,000 residents live over one mile from a single supermarket, making it one of the largest federally-designated food deserts in the country. In an effort to fight the shortage of fresh food in the area, Wirth Co-Op will open in August 2017.
