"It&amp;#039;s a wonder that a social enterprise called The People&amp;#039;s Supermarket is considered a relatively innovative idea. After all, isn&amp;#039;t food supposed to be about community and health? Of course, with corporate farming and the proliferation of SUV-like supermarkets, it&amp;#039;s harder than ever to find grocery stores that value social impact just as much as economic impact. In the United Kingdom, there&amp;#039;s The People&amp;#039;s Supermarket, which was founded by Arthur Potts Dawson. &amp;quot;The logic behind the establishment of a social enterprise to address the relentless march of the bigger supermarkets is certainly sound,&amp;quot; &amp;lt;a  href=&amp;quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/social-enterprise-network/2011/mar/04/social-enterprises-earn-loyalty-customers&amp;quot;&amp;gt;wrote Dermot Egan in the Guardian Social Enterprise Network&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. &amp;quot;The &amp;#039;Tesco effect&amp;#039; on local communities is very real, squeezing the livelihoods of suppliers and farmers, and forcing smaller local operators out of business.&amp;quot; While the thesis of Egan&amp;#039;s article was criticizing consumer loyalty, it&amp;#039;s this general mood of &amp;quot;big is bad&amp;quot; that sparks the re-establishment of local grocers. Indeed, The People&amp;#039;s Supermarket has a mission of creating an alternative food buying network where community is counted. &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Contact Information&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; The People&amp;#039;s Supermarket &amp;lt;a  href=&amp;quot;http://www.thepeoplessupermarket.org/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;website&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; The People&amp;#039;s Supermarket on &amp;lt;a  href=&amp;quot;https://www.facebook.com/thepeoplessupermarket&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Facebook&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; The People&amp;#039;s Supermarket on &amp;lt;a  href=&amp;quot;https://twitter.com/TPSLondon&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Twitter&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
