Read the entire story here."One of our issues with the warehouse club stores is also an issue with the mayor," said Grocery Workers Union organizer Pat Purcell. "The city did a study and determined that we need at least 100 supermarkets in the city, not more BJ's."
It is precisely in Verderosso's neighborhood where the latest episode of this "Big Fish Eats Little Fish" reality series is developing right now.
Two giant BJ's Warehouse Club stores are planned for Brooklyn - one off the Belt Parkway in Bensonhurst, and the other at the site of the old Key Food Warehouse at the Brooklyn Terminal Market in Canarsie.
"I have lived here all my life, and I know that many people are on tight budgets. They - especially the elderly - need a supermarket in their neighborhood," said the Brooklyn-born Verderosso, who has three children.
"These club stores put everybody out of business. When they are no longer profitable, they close, leaving behind an empty building and a neighborhood in decay."
According to the Neighborhood Retail Alliance, BJ's stores gross more than a million dollars a week in sales and attract around 7,000 cars a day. Their impact on the existing supermarkets would be nothing short of devastating.
We'd love to hear what you all think...
"Battered by rising rents and taxes, one-third of the city's supermarkets - about 500 - have vanished in the last 10 years."
ReplyDeleteBattered by rising rents and taxes, rents and taxes, rents and taxes. RENTS and TAXES.
And who raised the taxes? The same public officials, mostly Democrats, who that union boss routinely helps get elected in the first place. The problem isn't BJ's, which would be good for consumers (and if it's not good for consumers, then they won't pay the $45 membership).
This site is as ridiculous as Wake Up Walmart's website. You pretend to be in favor of workers while you're really just attacking the company.
Has anybody actually seen Herb Zarkin show up in their store?
ReplyDeleteWhy should Herb Zarkin go to any of the clubs. I'm sure his presents would drive the seniors and any one else that works that day absolutely nuts.after all the man is BJ's (guru) with millions. I am quite sure he only goes to the new clubs,why on earth should he ever visit the older clubs, he just might see what the older clubs need. Oh shame on me he does know what the older clubs need,He don't care,The more he saves, the more in his pocket. And that's the way it goes.

I almost never leave a response, but after browsing some of the comments on this page
ReplyDelete"New York City Supermarkets evaporating, BJ's isn't the answer...".
I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or do some of these comments come across as if they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other online sites, I'd like
to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you post a list
