I heard that Nash Finch, a corporate food chain wants to put a chain-style, hispanic oriented supermarket called Avanza in the former Sears building.
If this were true, it would likely seriously affect the homegrown hispanic stores that have worked so hard to revitalize Lake Street. Why would a city agency consider doing such a thing? Is there a Hispanic business organization fighting this? ...and where is the Mayor and the City Council on this? We can't exactly be celebrating our spicy hot multicultural community and and at the same time help a corporation turn Lake Street into Suburban Vanilla . Perhaps Steve Brandt can look into this.
