Foodtown on the corner of 204th and 205th streets (strange but true). This
store was founded in 1956 across the street and about a block north of here
and served the neighborhood until it
burned
down in 2010 and reopened at the current spot March 5, 2011. I shop
here, I like the store and especially the people who work in it. As far as
I know, it stayed open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The first time I
went there during the virus, I was impressed by the safety precautions in
place. I found out only recently that this store is nationally recognized
as a model for making supermarkets safe; see

News Article (September 10, 2020): it gave out masks to employees
and customers, is supplied its workers with vitamins, and was the
first company to install plexiglass barriers at the checkout counters. None
of the Foodtown workers has caught the virus. (Photo by me, taken a few
years ago.)
