Why is this such a secret? Am I missing something?
Why would they need a 'deal' with the existing supermarkets?
Why would they need a 'deal' too? They can charge whatever they want...
I believe it's being used for storage now. No construction yet.

Allegedly when another store wanted to come to town when Brachs close, the local monopoly was not happy. Some heavyweight Rabbis were very concerned there would not be an affordable option for many people. GG promised their KolSave location would be Moishe's style pricing. That didn't last long though.

And it's not just being used for storage. It's hard to see inside what's going on, but when the doot is open, you will see work is in progress.

What's going on with the traffic light at Empire Ave / Reads Ln? Is it temporarily out or was the city convinced to remove it?

Long time DDFer here but I made a new account for obvious reasons, since I'm trying to get this off my hands and I've already posted it elsewhere where I am known.

It's 10 feet wide and 90 inches tall. It's one piece that I've taken apart and is now in many pieces, if you can take it you can have it. Unfortunately, it no longer fits in our decor.

I don't think anyone would tell you it's not kosher. I personally don't eat there.
as far as food goes, i remember it being very good fried chicken. from people who eat there now, was better when they first opened.

I don't know about the food,

But the hechsher is just as good as any Vaad establishment. Probably a little higher standard.
Only reason not to eat there is politics. But that also might be a reason to specificaly eat there. Depends which side you are on.

Food is good, not necessarily better than all the other good food places in 5 towns.

Hechsher is good, with political issues
Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.

That's a bold statement to make. Can you back this up with real data or is this your opinion?

I would have agreed with you until they decided to sue the local Rabbanim in secular court. IMHO there are certain lines you don't cross.
If someone served me 550 I would probably eat it, but not chimichuri

You can read about the politics way upthread :). It's kosher food. It's political. Make your own decisions, we discussed this way too much here already.
