After more than 20 years without a grocery store in the West Boulevard corridor, Charlotte residents have found a potential solution of their own — a co-op market. Three Sisters Market, an initiative by the West Boulevard Neighborhood Coalition, has been in the works for eight years. The co-op grocery store recently received $3 million from county commissioners in addition to other funds from Congressional and city sources. The total cost of the project is expected to be about $10 million, and they have raised just over half that so far. “(Government officials) are really starting to understand how much of a dire need this is for our communities,” said Sharika Comfort, executive director of the coalition. “We are watering a desert.”

Happy Holidays
WBNC will be taking an extended winter break over the next few weeks. Our last day of work will be Friday, December 19, as our team pauses to care for ourselves and be with loved ones. We look forward to reconnecting after we return on January 5, 2026.
