I posted before in the wrong thread.
Anyone know, who in the Lakewood area, or a pharmacy that delivers to Lakewood, has Mounjaro (or Zepbound) in stock? Costco in brick doesn't have.

It's more common for random anti-semites to lie online.

Some guy on Reddit said he has firsthand knowledge that all Hatzolah members carry
(presumably meaning all the ones he's seen - no info on how many that might be).

It's all made up, I doubt he's ever seen a hatzolah member.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Why did they do so poorly?
Were they overpriced? Not full selection ? The pizza thing was a flop but that shouldn’t have hurt the rest of the store. Is the location just not good?

Sad, I’m sure the owner lost tons of money.
honestly I think what tanked them was just giving a bad taste in people’s mouth. For years they went all in, then an advertising blitz showcasing what people thought was simply unnecessary on top of the fact they weren’t really a supermarket. Yes other businesses in town fall into the same category and some have really hard time.
I heard Aisle 9 is in talks with the landlord and I think they will do well.

IMHO 2 things:

1) if I can’t do my whole Shabbos shopping at your store, I’ll just go elsewhere. They didn’t have nearly enough grocery shelves.

2) They invested way too much on things few ppl cared about.

I haven't been there, but I heard the same from others as well.

Sounds like they were a specialty store - not an actual grocery store. When they realized their model wasn't working out, they started carrying regular items, but apparently it was too late.

Very sad. Feel really bad for them.

They started carrying regular items and released a notice stating they weren't closing. However, instead of rebranding and being transparent about their change in strategy, they allowed rumors to spread unchecked.
