This blog is not meant to be mean or disrespectful, but rather just a simple observation.
How many fruit and vegetable stands do we need in the Southport area? While many businesses in the Southport area are failing during these trying economic times, fruit stands seem to be proliferating. Just in the past few months 2 new storefront fruit and vegetable stands have opened in the Southport area: 1 on the right as you go over the bridge to Oak Island and 1 on Hwy. 211 in the Dollar General shopping center. Not to mention the rotating selection of fruit and vegetable vendors near the intersection of Hwy. 211 and Dosher Cutoff.
Do we eat more fruit and veggies during an economic slowdown? Are these just hard-working folks trying to make ends meet?
You can also buy fruits and vegetables at any of the 4 groceries in our area and you can even buy fruits and vegetables at the Farmer's Market that is held on the Garrison lawn each Wednesday morning during the summer season.
That is a lot of fruits and vegetables for one small town... just wondering out loud!

If there were many, many more fruit & vegetable stands in Southport, a person is free to purchase at all, none, or any of the 4 grocery stores that that person prefers.
ReplyDeleteJust be thankful you have many to choose from. I live in N. Charlotte near UNCC and we don't have any stands close by.It's at least a 11 mile drive to the one nearest to us.
