What We Do

seven roots’ project portfolio focuses on a variety of community-focused independent grocers, including neighborhood, urban, and rural stores, food co-ops, multi-use developments, natural food stores, and small format concepts.

Our approach is focused on operational feasibility and long term business sustainability. From feasibility to design - “how to create a viable solution?” is the focus of our work.
