About the Grocery
Gaining Ground Grocery was the first project of our organization. Our goal is to provide affordable, healthy food to Chattanooga by offering our customers access to local, sustainable produce, meat, eggs, dairy, and more. Since Gaining Ground Grocery is a nonprofit food project, all proceeds from the store support the continuing mission of Gaining Ground as a whole.
Products & Inventory
Follow us for regular inventory updates
We work with over 30 producers in the area to intentionally source as much local food as possible! The produce we offer rotates based on the season, so following us on Instagram @gainingground or subscribing to the newsletter is the best way to see an updated list of what we have in store for you!
Bulk products
We offer a wide array of bulk products such as rice, beans, grains, spices, teas, and cleaning products (an extended list can be found below). You are always welcome to bring in your own clean containers for all our bulk items; we just ask that you make sure you have a tare weight on them before filling! We also have a shelf outside the store’s entry with free extra jars and containers for your convenience.
Our offerings vary by season
Although local, seasonal produce is our primary focus, we do carry other staple produce items such as citrus, bananas, and avocados. Additionally, we try to keep potatoes, garlic, and onions available all the time, so these may not be locally sourced year-round.
