New locally-owned grocery store coming to Titusville, thanks to city incentives
Reading time: 2 minutes
Earlier this week, the Birmingham City Council approved an $850,000 incentive package to help bring a new grocery store to the former Save A Lot at Heritage Park Townes Center in the Woodland Park neighborhood.
The project agreement is for the Carver Jones Market to move into the 10,000 square foot space at 833 Dennison Avenue Southwest.
Grocery store makes a “major difference.”
The possibility of a new grocery store in Titusville was lauded by the Council.
“Due to the absence of a nearby grocery store, many families have had to travel significant distances for food, without the convenience of simply going down the street for items like eggs.
Bringing a full-service grocery store here will make a major difference in people’s health and overall quality of life. It will also create new jobs in the community, making this a true win-win for everyone.”
Crystal Smitherman, Councilor for District 6
This is the Carver Jones Market’s second attempt to open a grocery store in the Birmingham metro area. In 2024, the grocer opened a store in downtown Fairfield. It only lasted a year at that location—Carver Jones Market President and CEO James Harris cited the city of Fairfield’s ability to support the market as one of the reasons for its closure.
