Access Louisville

Louisville is getting a new international grocery store — which got us talking about the market's needs on this week's Access Louisville podcast.LBF Reporter Joel Stinnett joins the show this week to tell us about Saraga International Grocery, which has signed a lease and will open its first area store at 200 N. Hurstbourne Parkway inside The Forum Center. This was formerly the site of Lucky's Market, which closed amid a company bankruptcy in 2020. This gets us talking about what we'd like to see in the grocery market in Louisville — a second Trader Joe's and more options inside the Watterson Expressway are on our wishlist. In other grocery news, Stinnett also tells us about the latest with Hy-Vee.
