Well, it was a fun idea, Kansas City, but it's over. The Sun Fresh grocery store, which the city has invested at least $13 million into, is closed.
Watch this local report:
We told you about this place a few weeks ago:
From that article:
Kansas City purchased the Linwood Shopping Center back in 2017 for just under a million bucks. The anchor store in the center was, and still (kind of) is Sun Fresh grocery store. The investment was part of a larger $13 million project to prop up the shopping center so businesses didn't leave the neighborhood completely due to violent crime, drugs, and prostitution.
KMBC 9 tells us the city has invested nearly $29 million, NPR says $19 million, and that's just what you get when you let a government spend your money -- you don't even know how much of it they're actually spending.
Fortunately for taxpayers, the place is closing shop.
While it has closed its doors for now, KMBC 9 says the city is looking for a new operator, which means there is the chance the city decides to throw even more money at it.
(Maybe socialism will work if we just TRY HARDER.)
Liberals say this area near Linwood and Prospect is a "food desert," a term they absolutely love to use in an effort to prove the government can run grocery stores.
New York City, you ready for that?
