🍋 🥚 A Bronx supermarket owner says dozens of food vendors have taken over the area outside his store, putting his business on the brink of closure. Marvin Cruz, the owner of Food Fair Fresh Supermarket in Fordham, said he’s counted up to 30 vendors around Fordham Road and Jerome Avenue. “They don’t have no refrigeration, and they’re selling multiple different items,” he said. “I’ve even seen vendors selling eggs, not refrigerated. A mess of box. They’re blocking the sidewalk. They don’t pick up their garbage.” “When you’re passing by a supermarket and you see all this vending, all these tables set up on the street and tons of boxes, you don’t feel even safe to get out,” he said. He said he’s gone from 100 employees to 65 employees and that his business could shut down. Cruz said repeated calls to city for help and a crackdown are going unanswered. “We love the community. We invested in the community. We want to be part of the community. We need help,” he said. 🎤 @glennschuck reports 📸 Marvin Cruz 🔊 Tune into 1010 WINS at 92.3 FM for more local news #nyc #newyorkcity #nycnews #thebronx #nycnews #business #smallbusiness
