Metro Pantry and Food

Metro Pantry and Food is a grocery store and convenience market located at 1300 E. Locust Street in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood, operating in the former Dollar General building. The store offers fresh produce and other convenient food options to address food access gaps in the area, complementing its carry-out restaurant concept featuring BirdShack fried chicken. Opened in June 2026, Metro Pantry serves as a community resource helping to combat Milwaukee’s food desert challenges where residents lack nearby access to fresh, healthy food options.
