Walmart hits Crown Heights in the form of Empire Kosher. Unlike other Crown Heights landmarks that were marked as conquered by displaying a large sign (but not opening), this store actually opened 3/4/08
The Itzik Battle will effect:
Albany Bakery
Owens Bakery
Mr. Greens
The Shuk
Kahans
Sushie Places
Kol Tuv ;-)
Kolel Store
Raskins
The guy that sells sandwiches outside 770
Etc...
But the biggest victim may be - Crown Heights adopted family store owner - the Kliens. How will this small family stand up to the giant colorful shopping cart? Is there more to Itziks' Red-Head lieutenant than meets the eye? Will they halt "minimum purchases" on credit cards?
Time will tell...
The Itzik Empire is on everyones radar now.
It's on Empire Blvd. (half block from Kingston Ave.)
