I spoke with the owner Marie a few weeks back and she said that she was looking to get out of that store and wanted to either sell the building or rent it out to another business. Her husband (I forget his name) went through the place and made some repairs to make it more appealing to a potential tenant / buyer.
Last time I was in the store there wasn't a whole lot of food left and they gave me a really good price on what I bought. Lowell On 6/11/07, John Ellingsworth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Sorry I don't have the answer to your question about Joe's; I myself noticed that it looked like Joe's had completely shut down as I biked by recently. The owners were really nice and I patronized them when I lived closer ... I think it an interesting contrast, the mention of Rita's water ice opening on B Ave. I remember visiting the water ice/coffee shop that was on the 4600 block in the summer of '04; it suddenly shut down, no one seemed to notice ... now a chain might be moving in. Do you have any more info on this potential move-in of Rita's? It is timely; there was an article in the Sunday paper about how an out-of-towner is doing so well marketing Philly water ice along the East Coast: Rita's CEO has lofty dreams for water ice Rudolph wants 1,500 stores, each earning $500,000 a season. http://www.philly.com/philly/business/20070610_Lofty_dreams_for_water_ice.html For what it's worth, I find it amazing that anyone would pay so much for flavored ice . . .
