Community Benefits Agreements

A new store should serve the needs of the community. If a new Fresh & Easy store is coming to your community, you have a right to ask that the store:

• Provides good jobs
• Hires local residents
• Follows all zoning requirements
• Provides adequate parking
• Works with neighbors to ensure delivery trucks do not disturb nearby homes
• Sells alcohol responsibly to prevent underage drinking
• Honors WIC benefits for low-income women and children
• Is environmentally responsible

Communities, like San Francisco’s Mission District, are coming together to ask that Fresh & Easy sign a Community Benefits Agreement contract with the community before opening a store in their neighborhood. These contracts hold Fresh & Easy to their promise to be a good neighbor.
