does anyone know if that produce store near the ivy ridge train station is still open? cause I remember when that opened up it was supposed to be something similar to this.

the problem with this place being a stop-and-pop is that it's not terribly far from acme or shoprite. if people walked more, then maybe it's a possibility but in our area, we have a mostly driving mentality. and most folks, if they know they have to pop out for something, will hit up the grocery store rather than this place. heck how many of us even knew about it before the original poster put up this thread?

of course, I live only a couple blocks away from the Commissary on Ridge, which seems to do fine despite the fact that it's basically the equivalent of a low-end 7-11. Every time I go there I expect to see Apu from the Simpsons. Maybe this produce place will turn into something similar and hang around despite our negative predictions. I wish them the best but money's too tight to frequent stores that can't compete with the big chains on some aspect, whether it be price or quality.
