Kiar Gamsho here commenting live from Park Street Market. Park Street market The Victorian Bakery Our road and brand has been shut down 4 times the past three years for various road projects. Now we have two separate projects that shut down our two main trade/travel routes! Ransom has been closed for months and Consumers got a permit to shut down Park for the arena project. They did not start until the week after! When will the construction finish? No one can give me a straight answer!
Haters said we could not as a supermarket survive in a downtown/low income neighborhood (aka da hood) when we opened 14 years ago. We did not respond to the haters via small troll talk , we responded by busting our small business behinds to provide fresh meats and produce to an abandoned downtown and northside. Our city and neighborhood does not have to depend on (like most of American urban and rural towns) Dollar Stores to feed their families processed foods and junk. We have given our community access to fresh food in two prior food deserts (Midtown Fresh Market ) U.S. Department of Agriculture
Talk is cheap! Come support a live local business and absorb the energy. Its euphoric, nostalgic & therapeutic!
We are fighters, from my dad supporting neighborhoods after the Detroit riots to present day. Fighting to park at my own business and serving the community trying to feed my 5 kids , 50 employees and their families.
There is a definitely a major failure in the process and I guarentee you it will come to light. I will fight for all small businesses and residents to be able access and support their neighbors. Is it corporate/contractor greed ? Gross negligence ? Incompetence ? We will find out.
Please repost this comment and support Park Street Market via talk , but most importantly action.
