The Itzik Empire

Walmart hits Crown Heights in the form of Empire Kosher. Unlike other Crown Heights landmarks that were marked as conquered by displaying a large sign (but not opening), this store actually opened 3/4/08 on Empire blvd. - a half block from Kingston Ave - in Crown Heights.

The Itzik Battle will effect:
Albany Bakery
Owens Bakery
Mr. Greens
The Shuk
Kahans
Sushi Places
Kol Tuv ;-)
Kolel Store
Raskins
The guy that sells sandwiches outside 770
Etc...

But the biggest victim may be - Crown Heights adopted family store owner - the Kliens. How will this small family stand up to the giant colorful shopping cart? Is there more to Itziks' Red-Head lieutenant than meets the eye? Will they halt "minimum purchases" on credit cards?

Time will tell...

The Itzik Empire is on everyones radar now.
