Whole Foods expands traveling grocer program in Portland

Austin, Texas – Whole Foods Market is bringing fresh food to the people of Portland, Oregon, through its My Street Grocery program. Operating from a refurbished classic trolley car, My Street Grocery is a mobile grocer that travels to neighborhoods throughout the Portland metro area and is focused on improving fresh food access and building community.



In spring 2015, My Street Grocery is offering expanded hours and three additional community market locations, including Rockwood (Gresham), Maywood Park and St. Helens. Once the spring schedule is in full swing, My Street Grocery will operate community markets five days a week, Tuesday through Saturday.



The trolley is stocked with produce, pantry staples, as well as dairy, meats and frozen fruits and vegetables. Whenever possible, the mobile grocery store sources from local producers Whole Foods Market partners with in the Pacific Northwest.



My Street Grocery represents a partnership between Whole Foods Market and local healthcare providers, social service agencies, faith-based organizations, schools and neighbors.
