(CHICAGO) A Whole Foods store has opened in Chicago’s poverty-stricken Englewood neighborhood today.

Congressman Bobby Rush attended the opening, and quoted the theme song form the TV Series “The Jeffersons.”

“This is not the end, this is just the beginning,” Rush said. “As George Jones would say, we’re moving on up…right here in Englewood,” Rush said.

The store, which has been in the works since 2013, employs some 100 residents.

It’s at the corner of West 63rd and South Halsted streets.
