This week, with the backing of some 2 500 Negroes who have invested $152,000 in the project, Walker & Co. will open Harlem's first cooperative super market. Located in Esplanade Gardens Cooperative, a middle-income apartment complex, the moderate-sized (10,000 sq. ft.) store will be the chief market not only for the 1,870-apartment development but also for surrounding tenement blocks.
