New Grocery Store, Asheville Forager, Opens in Downtown with a Sustainable Vision

Asheville --  Downtown Asheville welcomed a new addition to its vibrant business landscape today with the grand opening of Asheville Forager. Located at 35 Wall Street, this eagerly anticipated grocery store promises to be a game-changer for local residents and visitors alike, focusing on sustainability, zero food waste.

Owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo Paddy and Heather Collins, Asheville Forager is more than just a place to buy groceries; it's a commitment to a new way of approaching food retail. The Collins' vision is to create a community-focused hub where high-quality, local, and fresh produce, meat, and seafood are available at approachable prices.

"We try to keep the prices approachable and affordable for people who don't feel like they can afford higher quality ingredients and food," stated Paddy Collins, emphasizing the store's core philosophy. This dedication to affordability sets Asheville Forager apart, aiming to serve the average shopper rather than catering exclusively to a high-end market.

Beyond its competitive pricing, Asheville Forager is built on principles of environmental responsibility. The store is designed to minimize food waste, an increasingly critical issue in the modern food system. Shoppers can expect to find a curated selection of locally sourced goods, supporting Western North Carolina's farmers and producers.

Adding to its appeal, Asheville Forager boasts an in-house bakery, promising fresh-baked goods daily, and a New York-style deli. This diverse offering ensures that whether you're looking for ingredients for a home-cooked meal, a quick and delicious sandwich, or freshly baked bread, Asheville Forager has something to satisfy your needs.

The opening of Asheville Forager marks a significant step towards a more sustainable and community-driven food economy in downtown Asheville. With its emphasis on fresh, local, affordable, and waste-conscious products, it's poised to become a beloved staple for residents seeking both quality and value.
