"Serving as Red Hook’s sole neighborhood grocery since it opened in 2006, this supermarket became a local fixture but has grown controversial: it temporarily closed after Hurricane Sandy, subsequently raised prices, and is increasingly unaffordable for many low-income residents. Managers have told staff the store could close within four to six months after it was not among five locations sold to Village Supermarket (those sold sites were in Manhattan), leaving this outpost one of several whose futures are uncertain as the chain seeks other buyers." - Chris Crowley
