It wasn't just the small aisles. They store was in constant disarray. Boxes all over the place, out of stock on basic staples...

The aisles were extremely small, narrower than seasons.  You could not fit two people passed each other in an aisle.

Just saw this:
The 2015 Long Island Kosher BBQ Championship has been postponed and will not take place this year. The committee will take this extra time to re-brand the event and ensure the event continues to deliver on its founding goals of providing a great experience for our guests, spirited competition for our teams, and most importantly, our ability to make an impact on hunger relief on Long Island on behalf of our charity partners.

We want to thank everyone involved in our event including our partners, sponsors, teams, volunteers and you, our fans, for their interest and support.

We are reviewing our plans and will provide an update at the appropriate time.

Just heard tonight that Brach's is in fact selling to Pomegranate. Anyone know if this is true?
