The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) produces and stores food to help the needy and to serve as first responders in natural disasters and other emergencies. Church-produced food is also sometimes used by church facilities (such as cafeterias at church-owned schools or temples) where it is sold at cost. Certain items can also be purchased by the public at cost as emergency food storage (freeze dried foods, wheat, etc) Food surplus is often donated to community assistance programs.
The Church has never owned a grocery store. They do operate "Bishop Storehouses", which operate much like a food pantry. They look like a typical grocery store, but there are no cash registers. Needy people who have been referred by a Mormon Bishop may visit the storehouse and do their grocery shopping free of charge. They are usually expected to provide some volunteer service in exchange for assistance.

Why were brigham young and Joseph smith persecuted?
Smith and Young were persecuted for being the leaders of an unpopular faith. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was founded in 1830 with Joseph Smith as the president and prophet of the church. The church and all its members were persecuted from the start because of the doctrine. The LDS church teaches that revelation is ongoing and God has chosen a prophet in modern times to lead his people by direct revelation. This was the most controversial doctrine at the time that Joseph Smith was murdered by a mob. Latter Day Saints believe that Brigham Young was called by God to take Smith's position as prophet and president of the church. He lead the saints west to Utah where they would be alone. Brigham Young was persecuted in his own right more specifically because of polygamy (the practice of marrying more than one woman.)
