At the intersection of food justice and high concept retail lay the idea behind The Boxcar Grocer. We are an independently, family owned business located in Atlanta, GA. Store Hours Sundays: closed Mondays: 12p - 6p Tuesday - Saturday: 9a - 8p
Our goal is to become a model neighborhood resource, a new vision of what a corner store can be. A place that recognizes the health of a nation begins with the health of its individual communities.
With community support, we will have a thriving model of convenience store retail that successfully unifies the ideals of the larger environmental and food movements with the needs and voices of diverse urban communities such as Castleberry Hill, Mechanicsville and the West End areas of Atlanta.

In addition to an assortment of more well known national brands, we also carry a rapidly growing list of quality local goods from artisans that work hard every day to create an array of natural products.

We met many of these vendors through personal introductions while scouring local farmers markets here in Atlanta even before we opened our doors. Some are relatively new businesses while others are well established within the region.

“I would hope that we can move along a continuum to make sure that all of our citizens have access to the same fresh, safe, affordable good food regardless of their cultural, social or economic situation.“ ― Will Allen

“Power is not brute force and money; power is in your spirit. Power is in your soul. It is what your ancestors, your old people gave you. Power is in the earth; it is in your relationship to the earth.”
― Winona LaDuke
