CHESTER, PA. — A town in southeastern Pennsylvania will be getting its first supermarket in more than a decade, thanks to a project by hunger relief organization Philabundance. The organization recently purchased Chester's former grocery building at 3109 W. 9th St., which closed in 2001. CBX, a retail design consultancy, will design a prototype for the new not-for-profit grocery store, named Fare & Square, that is expected to open this summer. The 13,000-square-foot store will sell healthy food at low prices, with a focus on fresh produce, meats, dairy, seafood and frozen foods. Philabundance says it has been working on the concept for the past five years and aims to replicate the model in other communities in the Delaware Valley.
