La Estrella, located at 2449 Iowa St, has agreed to participate in the Stock Healthy Shop Healthy (SHSH) initiative. La Estrella, owned by Raul and Adany Perez, originally from Queretaro, Mexico has been in business for 13 years. After moving to the Lawrence community they quickly fell in love, however could not find many of the Hispanic foods they wanted. Learning many others were driving to other neighboring cities to buy these foods, they made the decision to open La Estrella Mexicana Market. In addition to the small grocery store, they also operate a small restaurant at their location on Iowa Street. "Together, my wife and I worked tirelessly to contact distributors, make connections with other Hispanic markets, and build relationships that ultimately would allow us to purchase the merchandise at a low and affordable rate. We could then provide those goods to our community for those same low and affordable costs - making Estrella Mexicana an essential shopping spot for many of our Lawrencian peers." - Raul Perez La Estrella has a good start on the healthy inventory SHSH recommends and is open to learning more from their customers and the community through customer surveys and suggestions. A suggestion board has been placed at the store and customer surveys will be conducted to learn what healthy foods customers are seeking. The SHSH team will be at the store, Thursday, September 6th from 2:00-4:00 offering healthy food samples, recipes, and shopping bags to customers. To learn more about La Estrella visit their website.
