(The complete plot for this South Park Episode)

Following Mr. Garrison's anti-immigration campaigning in the previous episode, South Park is ridiculed by Jimmy Fallon on TV. To counter the bad publicity, the town decides to convince Whole Foods Market to build a store there. This requires passing a thorough inspection with a representative of the firm, so Mayor McDaniels, with the help of Randy Marsh, decides to build a fancy and modern district, SodoSopa ("South of Downtown South Park"). The new district is intentionally built around Kenny's dilapidated home to appeal to young hipsters who enjoy the "rustic charm" of the scenery. SodoSopa runs several commercials (filmed in live action) advertising that all of the new restaurants and shops are "supporting" the original poor residents — when in fact no one in Kenny's family actually works at any of them. Soon the new district starts building middle-class apartment units for customers and employees to live in — all while claiming that this is revitalizing the poor residents that it was simply built around. The new district quickly attracts many people who depart the existing Chinese restaurant, City Wok. Its owner, Mr. Kim, hires a child labor force to try to cut costs, and Kenny manages to get a job in the restaurant.
Meanwhile, the Whole Foods Market Inc. representative comes into town and all the citizens try to behave properly to give a good image. After speaking with PC Principal the representative seems to have a good impression of the town. However, when Randy and others find out that Mr. Kim is creating his own gentrified district named CtPa Town (pronounced: "shitty part of town") and hiring children, they mob his restaurant and force the child laborers out. However, everyone becomes silent when they notice that the representative was observing the fight. He, however, seems to like the energy that the town put in to impress him and decides that the city will have the market. Everyone cheers and leaves, except for Kenny and Kim, who grants Kenny his "child labor wage". Kenny then comes back home and gives his sister a doll paid for by his meager wages. Kenny goes to sleep in his room despite the loud nocturnal noises from SodoSopa. The episode ends with a mock commercial featuring the citizens walking inside the new Whole Foods Market — which turns out to be located in CtPa Town, as SodoSopa itself has been abandoned.
