Chester no longer a food desert

For years and years, Chester residents had little or no option when it comes to a full-service supermarket.

That led to the community being labeled a "food desert."

Times have changed.

As of today, Chester has two supermarkets.

First to open was the Philabundance, with their Fair and Square store at Ninth and Trainer streets.

Today marks the opening of a Bottom Dollar store at 1500 Edgemont Ave.

The doors open at 8 a.m.
