    Rumor has it that a popular fruit store on Ave J, will be closing down shortly. Any truth to this rumor? Anyone know why?

    There was a sign last week saying that they will not be closing, although Eddie did tell a friend of mine that he is, so I dont know

    Yes, the owner of the store didn’t renew the lease. Same story with J2 pizza next door, they also lost their lease.

    Eddie really is an amazing person. The day before my wedding, I was in a car with my brother driving down Ave J, and he got into a minor fender-bender (actually, a fender-scratcher) in front of the store. Eddie saw me there, said “You’re getting married tomorrow, you don’t have time to deal with this!”, and offered to pay the guy whatever it cost to fix the car so I could go do what I had to do.

    Unfortunately, Eddie is now sitting shiva for his mother.

    He will be sitting tonight (Dec. 15) at Lubavitch on Ocean Parkway in the bais medrash until 9:00 PM

    He will be getting up from shiva tomorrow morning.

    It’s very sad I’ve been shopping there 30 years and at Chiffons too. Now Ave J is worthless.

    Apparantly the landlords are hoping to cash in with tenants like Walgreens. The 70k a month rent type of tennants. I wish them much hatzlacha.

    Update: He got a new 5 year lease. Sign outside the store prominently displayed “We are not closing”.

    yes, he told me today that he isn’t closing that is a real ness Chanuka. What would we have done if Eddie would have closed?

    For my Bat Mitzvah, my chessed project was packaging fruits for a soup kitchen and he gave me a discount of more than 50% off and delivered free!!
