Times Magazine recently produced an article and a short video about an exciting effort by African American entrepreneur Karriem Beyah, 47, to address the lack of fresh food retail in Chicago’s South Side neighborhood by launching a grocery store called Farmers Best Market. According to the article Beyah grew up on Chicago’s South Side and worked in the food industry most of his life, starting with his godfather’s neighborhood grocery store.
The video about Farmers Best Market and Karriem Beyah is very inspiring and a strong affirmation that it is possible for local entrepreneurs and residents to execute ambitious food retail ventures in inner city neighborhoods. Beyah is an example and role model to many of people striving to achieve similar goals in their communities.
