After seven years of organizing, Suncoast Market Co-Op, a community-owned health food store coming to Imperial Beach, will lose its leased space if funding goals are unmet. The chosen location resides in the Silver Strand Plaza near Palm Avenue and Rainbow Drive. “We have minimal grocery store options, and we don’t have a lot of healthy food options. In our small four square miles of Imperial Beach, we have over 40 fast food restaurants, liquor stores, and convenience stores,” said Kim Frink, board president of Suncoast Market Co-Op, the group responsible for the farmer’s market held once a month every 3rd Saturday at Veteran’s Park. In 2016, co-op members began mobilizing an effort to bring a healthy food grocery store to the neighborhood.
