An oasis in a food desert.

Now hundreds of people have a clean, healthy place to shop in East Kansas City.

The much anticipated sun fresh officially opens tomorrow.

Stephanie Kayser has a sneak peek inside this morning.

This is that Linwood and Prospects, Stephanie, a community that definitely needs this.

Sun fresh.

Yes, they definitely.

You see the customers, right? Nothing but sub-Saharan. This is one of these places where there's no... You know, like Walmart in Chicago is closing down? Right. Because it's too much crime. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I don't care. Y'all need to solve the death. Y'all deserve it. Right? So in Kansas City, there's a food desert because of the crime. Yeah, they don't deserve a grocery store. Yeah, but so they got the city invested. This is a government-ranked grocery store. Right? This is opening day. I definitely need this here, Gina, and it is busy this morning. Workers are in here, getting ready before the doors even open and people out here have a lot of busy this morning workers are in here guiding the doors even open

and people out here have a lot of options this section people can just come up grab things

and go on the run there's also a lot of produce something people didn't have before in this area

like like you said in the intro this was a food desert that means a lot of people didn't have

healthy good food options to go do they had to to go just convenience stores in the area. Things like a 7-Eleven and go to several different places to really make it work. And people had to take the bus or go a long way to be able to get that good, healthy food. Now people don't have to do that. And that is a big deal for this community and the owners here

hope the success of this rubs off and helps revitalize the rest of the area.

This community needs a great grocery store and I think we provided it here.

It's we got a pretty nice store here.

I have to say yourself and they deserve it.

You know, they deserve a good story

now this store employees about 70 to 80 people so they haven't invented

invested interest in how well this store does and everybody out here really

wants this store to stay looking as good as it does on day one again the all right so it hasn't

opened up it was that grand opening this video is seven years old let me show you now what the

negroes did to it yeah we got a damn good show but before we get today's video don't forget about
