| - This normally would have been 5 stars, but I am a bit worried. I remember going to Am-Ko as a kid. We used to go when they had their home nearby on Green St. I loved their selection of Asian candies, and I guess the kid in me won't quit, I still buy rice-candy from them along with my other asian food needs. The two who owned this place were wonderful to get advice from and probably single-handedly changed how I cooked asian food.
BUT
It appears the ownership has very recently changed??? I noticed a lot of produce was gone, and shelves were semi-bare. In the back, which usually was closed off, I saw people cooking food for their dinner etc., it was very strange. No one appears to be the same staff as little as a month ago.
Does anyone know what happened to the great owners? I remember the fellow's name was Mike, but for the life of me, I can't remember the woman's name. They became a part of my life here in Champaign, and it's a bit of a loss that we now won't see each other when I go to purchase my goods.
I'm worried that the produce and goods I've grown to love will no longer be available... time will tell.
[I already noticed almost all the CD's, DVD's etc., are completely gone.]
