The proposal is the establishment of a grocery store in the ground floor of the SF Mart building between 9th and 10th on Market Street, San Francisco.

The store would be financed by Twitter, Yammer (Microsoft), and One Kings Lane, new occupants of the building.

The primary goal of the store is to provide fresh and healthy food for their employees.

In addition, by virtue of their commitment to community, the store will cater to low income residents of the Central Market area, as specified by the Department of Human Services, San Francisco.

The store will also provide educational facilities and such as nutritional information, and cooking facilities.

The store will take EBT (aka Food Stamps), WIC (Women with Infants and Children) vouchers and cash, at market rates.

It provides accessibility to fresh and healthy food to both employees and local residents at subsidized prices. It will be available during normal business hours, seven days a week.

For the companies, Twitter, Yammer, and One King's Lane, the proposal supports their commitment to both employees and to the community.
