Reply to comment by TheAbyssAlsoGazes in Salem Market & Grill in The Strip by theherbpuffer

Are you sure it’s a second location? I swear the original news made it sound like they were moving.

It's definitely a second location. But I'm not sure if it will have a restaurant/grill or just market/grocery store. I hope it's both.

“We’re extremely humbled and thankful for the opportunity, and that’s genuine, that’s not fluff talk,” said Abdullah Salem, the store’s owner. The family business began in Oakland more than 40 years ago, and currently operates on Penn Avenue in the Strip District. That location will close as the grocer moves to the Hill.

This is from WESA

Say it ain't so! Oh man I'm sad they'll be leaving the Strip. Though I have to admit the Hill needs them more.

It honestly is kind of sad and confusing. The strip is in the midst of a housing boom and will likely have a lot more people living there in the next decade. I guess the same could be possible in the hill, but people have been saying that for like 50 years and it’s never happened.

Likely means their rent is increasing as well.

Yea that’s upsetting, I’m in the strip frequently and love stopping in. Never really in the hill district.
