New Grocery Store Fills Heritage Park Food Desert | Huntsville News

A new grocery store, Carver Jones Market, just opened in Birmingham’s Heritage Park neighborhood—filling a critical gap left by the closure of Save a Lot last year. With $885,000 in city incentives—including $600,000 in federal healthy food funds—it’s more than just a store; it’s a lifeline for families who’ve relied on convenience stores for fresh food. Local leaders like Councilmember Crystal Smitherman say this is a major win for health and jobs. CEO James Harris, who’s learned from past failures—including a shuttered Fairfield location—swears this one will stick. Now open at Heritage Park Town Center, it’s a hopeful step toward real, lasting change for the community. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
