This article presents empirical studies, including in-depth interviews and a walking tour, to understand their specific needs and challenges. It further describes the development of an assistive mobile app addressing store navigation, product search, and goods identification, accommodating planned and opportunistic purchase scenarios. Currently in the prototype stage, the app aims to bridge the physical and digital realms, providing an accessible solution for blind and VI individuals during grocery shopping. The inclusively designed interface prioritizes accessibility for all users.Text/Workshop Paper10.18420/muc2023-mci-ws07-514
