Oh, I see; I’ve been through there, and it seems much cleaner than NJ. In fact, in driving across the country, it ALL seems cleaner than NJ.
I gotta have that.
That’s what it comes down it.
I have successfully avoided DC and Jersey all of my life.
Been to NYC a few times against my better judgement.
It’s a shame that these entrepreneurs from other countries don’t have the geographical awareness or understanding of the urban $hitholes where they are risking their investment capital and their lives.
I am not accusing this gentleman of anything and don’t know anything about his specific store but you would be SHOCKED if you knew how much welfare fraud with the food stamp program takes place at these little inner city mom and pop’s. They find ways to sell cigarettes, beer, and anything else using EBT cards if they are not paying out 50 cents on the dollar and there is very little investigation done by the agencies that oversee the programs.
This was horrible but ask yourself why so many of these stores flourish in the inner city.
I also managed to never set foot in LA
Must be Holder’s People on the police force and Holder’s people doing the looting.
Now you know why there are no chain supermarkets in inner cities like this.
They get robbed blind by visitors and employees.
I feel sorry for this guy. Perhaps, he will move to a non-criminal section of the country and succeed.
The town I grew up in is the “Cleanest town in Ohio”
But you can drive 7 mi and be in the hood.

Klein's ShopRite leaders honored by Michelle Obama
Klein's ShopRite is a member of the Wakefern Food Corporation, the largest retailer-owned cooperative in the United States. Founded in 1946, the cooperative is comprised of 47 members who individually own and operate more than 230 supermarkets under the ShopRite banner in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
WTF ! I would vacate the neighborhood since it seems the neighbors cannot appreciate what they have.
Germantown Ave. at E. Cumberland is not even close to Germantown. It’s closer to the Badlands. This is the anus of North Philly we’re talking about. It is another planet.
Only a Hurricane Katrina treatment will flush out PHL... and even then I’m not sure it can be fixed.
40% of the city is on food stamps.
And Obama doesn’t even have the decency to send his goons to help watch one of these places when trouble comes.
Philly proper or larger Philly?
Is there such a place (non-criminal part of the country)?
City. Suburbs are nice - not counting their proximity to Philly.
Tell ‘em’’ Kearny’’. My older brother managed the Shop-Rite in our old home down right across the Passaic River from Newark for years and the stories he told me. Carloads of blacks loading up, some paid, some shop-lifted most always bitchin’ about having to travel so far and always putting it down to ‘;’whitey don’t want to come to Newark’’.
The police were unsuccessful protecting this man’s assets because the police did nothing.

If I lived in the area, I’d loved to have made it so he wasn’t alone. Somehow. He should reach out. People should reach out when things get this bad.
Celebrate diversity.
In the 'hood, it's the Arab and Indian shop owners who are civilized and law-abiding.
“I suppose this is what insurance is for.
I hope he had a good policy.”
I can’t imagine any insurer touching a “business” in that cesspool.
Joisey... what exit?
Youre a good man Laz.
bttt
Finally, a concrete example of what community organizers do.
They may as well fire the entire police force. They are obviously useless.
This evil businessman is clearly responsible for another area of the inner city becoming a Food Desert. He should be severely punished. < /s>
Shhh. I have a reputation to keep.
A few years back, my wife and I were in Las Vegas, I noticed a sign saying, California only so many miles, 40 or so? I had never been there but my wife had, so we drove into Californian, took the very first exit and made a turn around. I entered the on ramp to go back to Nevada and there was no trafic to speak of so I pulled over while still on the ramp, opened my door and stepped my left foot on the ground. Now I can say, I have stepped foot in California.
I live less than 10 miles from NYC, and haven’t been there for over a decade. I don’t intend to, either.
I used to go there often, before I truly appreciated the 2A.
Now I avoid it (and all places which disallow self-defense) like the plague. (NJ is on that list)
That’s too funny; one of my in-laws was a manager in Basics. (Remember when that was down there?)
His descriptions of the Kearny PD dealing with the Newark residents were absolutely hysterical, though depressing in hindsight.
We were mostly driving on interstates, so missed the “diverse” sections...
Amish
Nope,just Holder’s people again I’ll bet.
I was in Philly for a few days for my job; we were in a hotel by the Liberty Bell, and I have to tell you I thought it was pretty decent. At night we went north to some Colombian restaurant, and saw parts of the city that were not so decent.
In a city near where I live, about 30 years ago, the south side of the city had no big super markets. Finally, one opened, they had to hire armed security guards for every hour they were opened and in Illinois that generally means off duty cops and they don't come cheap.
The store was struggling and people were complaining about high prices but they had to cover the costs of those security guards, plural because they always had two on duty, plus they had to cover the cost of losses due to shop lifting and employee theft.
The final straw that made them close was when one of the guards was killed by armed robbers. The owners told the local newspaper that they couldn't stay open because their liability insurance premiums had sky rocketed and they could no longer even find enough security guards to work there.
There's still no larger grocery store in the entire section of that city, one of Mooshele's "food desert areas".
If thugs like those EVER show up at our local polls,I guarantee the citizen’s response will make the national news.
Holder’s people.
Holder’s people doing what comes from their edumacation, thanks to president Johnson.
Compliments of Occupy Philly?
Get out of that hellhole, Bhupinder. Not all of America is like that.
Funny, that was my thought, too.
There is a reason that stores don’t open in those areas. And a reason that the stores that DO open in those areas charge appropriately high prices for their goods.
