Tony's Deli has been there for 48 years. Yep, right there on the corner. His family wants to renovate the store to make it more modern, and he wants to keep the Nostalgic, old time feeling. What's a guy to do?
I think he should renovate, as an Italian groceries store, I think that would add credibility and people would go there for that specifically. It's a great location, just west of a 5 point intersection, so maybe making it a bit modern with seating in a room with the collectors memorabilia would bring in more customers.
I shop at local, non-chain type places, because these people have heart. Here's a guy who descended through the family, to run this store designed to look like little Italy. He has achieved that. His heart is good. He wants to pass the store down to his son's, they want to make it more modern. see the dilemma?
