First Oriental Grocery Closes it’s doors.

It is sad that yet another business had to close do to the economic down turn. I know a lot of people loved the store.

One thing I did find interesting for the DNT was a reason why she closed her doors.

Cummings-Gibbs has owned the store for four years with decreasing sales affecting the bottom line for two years. She said the decision to close came last week, in part to her husband, Joe Gibbs, losing his job in February.

Okay I guess it makes perfect sense that neither one of you are working now.

That poor woman was held up at gun point several times too. I had gone in after the most recent holdup and she was a wreck...

The Oriental Grocery wasn't making enough money and they were probably loosing a lot more by keeping it open than they would be by letting go and moving on.
