A local nonprofit organization, RestoreOKC, is working to purchase and keep open a Homeland grocery store in Northeast Oklahoma City that was slated to close. The store serves as an important community resource in a food desert area, and residents are rallying to prevent its shuttering.
Why it matters
The potential closure of this Homeland store would leave Northeast OKC, an underserved area, without access to a full-service grocery store. RestoreOKC's efforts to acquire and maintain the store are crucial to ensuring food security and preserving a vital community asset.
The details
The Homeland grocery store in Northeast Oklahoma City was set to close, but the local nonprofit RestoreOKC has stepped in to try and purchase the property and keep the store open. The store serves a predominantly low-income, minority neighborhood that is considered a food desert, meaning residents have limited access to affordable, healthy food options. RestoreOKC is working to raise funds and secure the necessary financing to acquire the store and continue operating it as a community resource.
- The Homeland store in Northeast OKC was scheduled to close in the coming months.
- RestoreOKC began its efforts to purchase the store and keep it open in early 2026.
