"Staubitz Market, a staple in Cobble Hill for more than a century, is “at risk of bankruptcy and complete failure,” says owner John McFadden Jr. McFadden shared the news this month in a GoFundMe that aims to raise $150,000 to keep the butcher shop open. McFadden inherited the shop after his father, John McFadden Sr., died in November. The shop has seen lower revenue and rising food costs in recent years, according to McFadden, but the situation was exacerbated by a demand from city officials to repair the building’s facade. The fix would reportedly cost $125,000. The butcher shop opened at its current address in 1917, making it one of the oldest butcher shops in the city. John McFadden Sr. owned the shop since 1967." - Luke Fortney
