Bringing Fresh, Healthy Food to South LA
We’re opening a community owned grocery store in South LA to increase access to natural, organic foods for our community.
Rooted in the historic Crenshaw district, SoLA was created to address longstanding inequities in food access while building community power through collective ownership and participation. Although opening a locally-owned grocery store is our North Star, SoLA also strives to serve as a resource for health and wellness education, economic opportunity, and neighborhood self-determination.
We are currently in stage 3 of our co-op development timeline, and SoLA is moving forward with plans to capitalize and select a site for our store. We are projected to open our doors within 24 to 36 months.
We are currently at 735 owners!
Through partnerships, community programming, and cooperative membership, SoLA is helping residents shape a food system that reflects local values, culture, and aspirations. Join SoLA and become part of the solution.
