Writersoul: I do hear your point that it depends in which neighborhood your opening the store, but do you agree that if a business has the “haskama” of the chasidim, or it becomes popular among them, it will likely be more successful, only because they are fast becoming the majority of populated Monsey?
I’m also not first or second generation Monsey, and I’ve pretty much watched the transition until where it is today. I find it fascinating.
