Summary
Brenda and Matt McCasson are fighting to keep their North Dakota grocery store alive—reshaping their business and location to survive dwindling traffic. With help from the state’s Community Foods Department, they’re part of a growing network of local food hubs in Minot that are seeing 10-15% customer growth through collaboration. These community-driven stores are redefining local commerce by offering fresh food and essentials while forging new partnerships with developers. A recent community event in Upham brought together food providers and residents to rally support, showcasing how collective action is revitalizing small-town food economies.
