TAMPA, Fla. (April 18, 2012) -- Most people save for a rainy day. Two University of South Florida students put their rainy day money towards bringing a little sunshine to a Tampa neighborhood.
Andrea Little and Hector Angus put their heads and wallets together to open 1 Apple Grocery. Located on Nebraska Avenue, the co-founders hope to create a "food oasis" in this "food desert." The grocery store opened in December 2011 and accepts WIC vouchers and EBT.
"They rely mainly in financial help from the government, like EBT and WIC programs," said Angus. "(But) they don't have produce, fruits and vegetables, nutritious foods available to them." Angus said the store provides fresh fruits and vegetables at cheaper prices than the local chair supermarkets.
