Root veggies
November 11th, 2009
This was in Chinatown, at Lim Bangkok Grocery.
I’m sure you’ve been wondering what happened to Manphat Grocery, right next door to Lim Bangkok at the corner of Booth and Somerset.
I don’t have any idea except that they got themselves into over $7500 of rent trouble.
It might be tempting to blame this on the opening of the giant T&T store on Hunt Club Rd., but it happened three months ago. I think T&T will have some kind of effect on businesses in Chinatown but it’s too soon to tell exactly what it will be.
Here’s another big root.
Bye for now!

that’s too bad. it could be a slow effect of competition I suppose. could be any cause.

There’s a new Asian grocery story at Rochester and Somerset - they also carry a few Western items, like milk and bread, and they have a take-out counter at the back.

Hi Jen, yes, Chinatown businesses are in constant ferment. I’m planning to post an update on the ever-changing Kimchi situation sometime soon.
