Dr. Harriet Moore & Estella Moore-Thomas
Estella Moore-Thomas owned Moore’s Grocers when African American residents couldn’t shop at other grocery stores.
The Newtown business that still bears the family’s name supplied the community with groceries and fresh produce. Before Moore’s, she rented a store in the building once occupied by Eddie’s Fruit Stand. Harriet D. Moore, her daughter helped run the store. “We were one of the few stores that gave credit to people,” Moore chimed in.
