All Quiet at South Slope Key Food





















What's up at Jo, Brian, George, Jim, Andy & Joseph's Key Food on Fifth Avenue? Notes went up on the shuttered store on Friday stating that a "power outage" would result in a  "1 - 3 day" closure.  It's looked completely quiet inside since then, with no sign of any fixing going on.  Perhaps some activity tomorrow?

Just walked past there this morning, as I've done for the last two weeks, and it's still closed, with no further information posted. ???

Last week I was told that repairs would be done in a week or so, but was somewhat sceptical. A week later, there seem to be no signs of anyone inside the place. Clearly there seem to be other issues involved ...

It's been closed for 2 months now due to supposed electrical issues. I walk by a dozen times each week and have NEVER seen any repairs in progress or people onsite. Electrical in rest of building seems to be working fine. I can't believe any business couldn't manage to reopen in a matter of days. Perhaps they owe ConEd a large sum?

Yeah, the electrical explanation looks pretty bogus by now. Any normal business would have got repairs done ASAP, and the longer they're closed the less likely they are to reopen. No sign of activity - except the sneaking in to air out the rotting food smells. I wonder how their other store on Flatbush is doing.
