Ownership behind Global Foods in Kirkwood will run the grocery, and food mogul Ben Poremba of Salume Bedu and Olio & Elaia is overseeing prepared food.

And there’s a full grocery with all the essentials: toothpaste, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, Urban Chestnut beer…
The frozen and refrigerated section is large as well. They’ve fit a lot into a relatively small space.
