The supermarket relies on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SNAP</a>) for roughly one-third of sales."SNAP is a 'big piece of what we do,' said owner Jimmy Wright, who has worked at the store since he was 12 and bought it almost 30 years ago. 'We see very hardworking people who are using this program to try to feed their families and pay rent.'" 'SNAP, formerly known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodStamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodStamps</a>, is the largest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiHunger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AntiHunger</a> program in America. Recipients receive, on average, about $6.16 a day, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities."But President Trump’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OneBigBeautifulBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OneBigBeautifulBill</a> Act makes the largest cuts to food stamps in the program’s 86-year history, jeopardizing assistance for more than 42 million people. It also imperils the program’s role as an economic anchor for grocery stores and communities, particularly in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rural</a> areas, according to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/grocers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#grocers</a> and economists."<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/28/business/trump-big-beautiful-bill-snap-grocery?iid=cnn_buildContentRecirc_end_recirc&recs_exp=most-read-article-end&tenant_id=popular.en" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/28/business/trump-big-beautiful-bill-snap-grocery?iid=cnn_buildContentRecirc_end_recirc&recs_exp=most-read-article-end&tenant_id=popular.en</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RuralCommunities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RuralCommunities</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodDeserts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodDeserts</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpHatesThePoor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TrumpHatesThePoor</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNAP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SNAP</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodAssistanceCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FoodAssistanceCuts</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigUglyBill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigUglyBill</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigUglyPresident" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigUglyPresident</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPol</a>
