Stockbox pitch deck

STOCKBOXNEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY

Stockbox is the new neighborhood grocery.

We invest in communities, so that good food and relationships can thrive.

centralization of food resources

We have a problem with food access in this country. We have a lot of grocery stores, but they are concentrated in more dense and affluent hubs, which means some communities have easy access to fresh food and a choice in experience and price…

food deserts and social equity

…While others must travel a longer distance or instead rely on local resources, like convenience stores, to fulfill basic food needs. In fact, across the U.S. more than 23 million people live in a food desert.

the Stockbox alternative

Stockbox responds, by placing small stores across cities to provide easy access to the fresh foods we purchase most often.

The Stockbox alternative

Our micro groceries are bright and inviting. Staff are hired from the community and offer a helpful, engaging experience. And community outreach enables us to demonstrate our local investment.

the Stockbox alternative

customers & community

Before Stockbox, our customers traveled outside the community to shop, because local resources were either uninviting or disconnected from their real food needs. They now shop at Stockbox because they can find the food they want, at a price they can afford, and with an experience they can feel proud of, where they live.

competitive advantage

Stockbox can fit where big stores can’t. We offer a level of engagement convenience stores won’t. And we have a model that enables us to reduce costs;  increase efficiencies; and curate the most profitable items in a typical grocery, all in aid of keeping prices accessible.
