I was excited when Anabel’s first opened its doors last semester, and I’m excited for its return now.
Tuesday’s opening came after a summer of evaluating how the store can be improved since last spring’s soft opening.
If the line extending out the store Sunday is any indication of how Anabel’s will bring the community together, I think the wait for this store was well worth it.
Starting Sunday, the trek to the grocery store may no longer involve the TCAT for Cornellians.
The Dyson Inclusion and Diversity Program and Anabel’s Grocery hosted a hunger banquet simulation in Mann library on Tuesday to increase awareness on Cornell’s campus of global economic insecurity.
Due to begin operations next semester, Anabel’s Grocery offered a sneak peek of the long-anticipated student business at a pop-up shop last week.
“Delays in the construction process that are external to the student involvement in the project have pushed our timeline to opening in the middle of next semester,” said Lizzi Gorman ’17, co-president of Anabel’s Grocery.
Graduate students became involved in the planning of the grocery store following the release of a survey by the GPSA designed to poll food insecurity among graduate students.
The process of the construction was “more bureaucratic than they had originally imagined.”
In the midst of a vibrant campus debate on how best to tackle food insecurity, President Elizabeth Garrett gave her approval of the plan to open a student-run grocery store in Anabel Taylor Hall on Nov. 23, clearing the final administrative hurdle blocking the store’s proponents from turning their plan into reality. The resolution to open Anabel’s Grocery was originally approved by the Student Assembly last April as a way to address food insecurity on campus. After President Emeritus David Skorton declined to offer his judgement on the plan in his last months at Cornell, the S.A. debated the issue again this year, and passed a second resolution in favor of the proposal on Nov. 5.
