Stockbox Grocers is a miniature grocery that is tucked inside a reclaimed shipping container and placed into the parking lot of an existing business or organization. The stores are designed to offer the essential grocery items and fresh produce to communities that don’t currently have access to good food. Imagine dozens of these stores, located throughout urban food deserts and within walking distance of home, work, and school – so that there’s always good food, where you need it.
