RG Foods is pioneering a network of locally owned stores called the Grocery Box. This new micro grocery concept provides a low-cost entry, environmentally friendly, and a nimble solution to re-populate neighborhoods with fresh food stores. 

This project is distinctive due to its integrated strategy which addresses barriers across the local food system. It is a phased approach aimed at providing economic development for underserved populations while ensuring equitable access to health food thereby improving health disparities. In other words, it’s replicable. It provides a social entrepreneurial opportunity for residents to own and operate their own neighborhood stores. 

Our first pilot installation of the Grocery Box is in partnership at the Tulsa Dream Center.

This small scale store is a full service grocery store offering locally sourced produce, meat, diary, frozen, grab and go, and staple dry goods. We accept SNAP, debit/credit, cash, Double Up Oklahoma, Osage SNFMP and WIC. We also will provide nutrition education, pop up farmers markets, and other programing through a variety of partner organizations including American Heart Association.
