Something worth pulling from this story, but read the whole thing or at least play the audio.
A few years ago a black-owned grocer in Chatham sold to an Arab owner. Tate says residents weren’t happy with customer service and stopped shopping there. The grocer is now a dollar store. There are other options for Chatham residents, big-box grocers not too far away. But they aren’t in the neighborhood. And Chatham Food Center is enough for many people.That store on 87th Street used to be Food Basket. And here's the store in question.
Perhaps I should visit the Chatham Food Center. I'd be doing this as a new customer but I understand that there are those who wish that dollar store wasn't on 87th Street anyway. I would hate to see another grocery store close and then turn into a dollar store.
