So many small store are close becuase don’t want to take the covid fund because language barrer, store rent are go to sky because the building owner think the store can earn 70% like 17 years ago. The item get from the distubutor is already x3 the price sold on big store and the customer complain is too expensive, look at those big store, they are only $ and you sell $$.

No way! People should go shop at ethnic grocers, if only to break up the monopoly.
