ICYMI: Here's Why Grocery Stores Might Not Be Coming to Dallas' Food Deserts Anytime Soon
“These were really the golden years of supermarket growth,” Huddleston said. The ’70s saw the rise of discount and warehouse stores.
“The market is extremely, extremely competitive, with many of the stores that I noted no longer in the market, or in some cases, out of business totally,” he said. “The supermarket business is very difficult. The profit margin is between 1% and 2% of sales.” Huddleston was basically telling the committee that Dallas needs to understand the market, how hard it is to open a sustainable grocery store, particularly in a food desert, and that other models may be more viable.
Sanders ended the meeting, not hopeful about what she heard, but hoping the committee would hear from someone else. “I thought [Huddleston] represented his constituents well in attempting to reduce some of the fees the corporate grocers are subjected to,” she said. “I don’t really think that was the point of the meeting, but that’s what happened.”
