Open a grocery store in the lowest income area of town which would also likely be in a food desert. Name the business "Food desert".

Not a bad idea, another idea would be community gardens, but i also know they get messed up sometimes.
Where im from in the sticks there were these birdhouse type things with a glass door, usually on a post, that had non perishable food people would drop off, think canned food, peanut butter etc.

Get ALL your groceries from “Greenbriar International*

Judging by the number of grocery stores that have closed in low-income areas around me, I’m guessing this is a bad idea

If you could get funding for this, it would be a truly significant public health help.
Maybe call it Sahara Supermarkets, a bit catchier?

Folks will assume it's a candy and confectionary shop, not realizing that the spelling is different between the two words.

I drove by a bar called Toms desert or something and it looked cool. The parking lot had a bunch of cactus and thought what a ridiculously cool place that looks like

Are we married to that name?
But anyway, yeah. Food deserts are a real issue and this would address it.
