Dollar Tree will soon offer products that cost $7: #DollarStores have been attracting more higher-income shoppers and are leaning into it https://t.co/QX2zQDgn9N via @grocerydive

[Sean Cash @SeanBCash]

Family Dollar and Dollar Tree will close 1,000 stores, while Dollar General still grows. I don’t think we’ve hit peak #DollarStore quite yet, but the growth is slowing https://t.co/U435PYzJvl

Thankful for the @UNC_CCPS Community Engagement Fellowship which allowed me to study community perspectives on dollar stores as food retailers! (Excited to share findings soon!)

@UNC grad students, I highly recommend applying to the 2024 Fellowship. Applications due Feb 1!

SuperSNAP increased food security and ability to purchase fruit/veg for patients and enabled healthcare providers to better support their patients! Excited for the future of Food Rx programs

[Global Food Research Program at UNC-Chapel Hill @GFRP_UNC]

While enrolled in SuperSNAP, 91% of NC participants were able to afford the fruits & veg they wanted—a vast increase from only 12% before the program. Learn more in a new policy brief on SuperSNAP's success from @GFRP_UNC @GillingsGlobal @ReinvestPartner:

Dollar stores are the fastest-growing food retailer in the U.S. – shouldn’t their food options be keeping up? Our new report highlights the role of dollar stores in this country and offers solutions to enhance healthy food options: https://t.co/ps9l1WkdEY

Ever wonder why Black communities struggle to get a grocery store? Or why there's so many Dollar General, Family Dollar, and Dollar Tree stores in low-income and high-income Black communities?

Excited this article is FINALLY out! 🥳

Thanks to everyone who attended our panel at #NCTOH2022! This was the largest audience I've spoken to about tobacco manufacturer contracts with tobacco retailers. I'm so pleased with the growing interest and hope to see some policy discussions and responses soon!

[Allie Reimold @AllieReimold]

Thank you @PaulDelamater for the countless conversations on how to operationalize urban-rural areas and @AmandaYKong for constant support, feedback, and insight!

[Allie Reimold @AllieReimold]

Can you shop for food without encountering tobacco products?

We found that tobacco-free food retailers were least common in suburban and large town areas. https://t.co/Uo2SrGS83B

[Ben Wexler @mrbenwexler]

Just a reminder: We didn’t outlaw cigarettes. We just put a bunch of sensible laws around them and as a result hundreds of thousands of gruesome deaths were prevented.

[Allie Reimold @AllieReimold]

A huge thank you to @KurtRibisl for encouraging me to attend #SRNT2022. It was wonderful sharing my work and getting to meet and learn from so many incredible researchers.

[Allie Reimold @AllieReimold]

@cpalmedo @TC_BMJ @Joseph_GL_Lee @KurtRibisl Glad you enjoyed it. Excited to hear it’s starting conversations about tobacco industry contracts!
