For Brick and Mortar
Grocery/Corner Stores
We have been so excited to expand Good Food Bucks to grocery stores all across New Jersey! Whether you are a supermarket, corner store, bodega, or any type of brick and mortar store, if you have fresh fruits and vegetables for sale, we would love to bring Good Food Bucks to your store.
Offering Good Food Bucks is a benefit to not just your customers, but to your store as well. Some states have found that stores offering SNAP nutrition incentives had a 357% increase in SNAP produce sales, and said stores then needed to hire more produce staff.
