Keter Judaica Opening Lakewood Store
The new Keter Judaica store is located at the Avenue Shoppes mall Cedarbridge and New Hampshire Avenues
There's enough business to go around since people are moving in from ny and elsewhere. They also have items that you can't find in Lakewood people still schlep to Brooklyn for judaica items. For every new supermarket there should be another store of everything else
Just curious, what judaica items can't be found in Lakewood. I'm in Lakewood for almost 4 decades and can't recall ever traveling to Brooklyn for judaica items. Wonder what I'm missing...
Paroches, and mantels for bima amud etc. we’re not available in Lakewood, and you had to go to Boro Park. And it was actually quite annoying for me to have to deal with them on the phone and the back and forth and finally make the trip down there... I don’t know if this place has them either...
Who justifies the supermarkets coming in and encroaching on the Lakewood business owners? The fact that it was not protested vigorously by both the leaders and the lay people made it seem permissible and ethical for all other businesses as well. Two (or multiple) wrongs do not make a right!
If your shtetl in Kansas or Alabama would be home to Talmidei Chachomim and bnei Torah, then they couldn't. We hold ourselves up to a higher standard. There are clear guidelines of Yored L'parnasaso shel Chaveiro. Moreover, supporting your own neighbours, friends and family has Halachic precedence over supporting outsiders, in this case, speculative businesses who are harming the existing stores. "Kosher" and "Yosher" is not only about how the animal is slughtered or the cow is milked.
Can't have tainos on the supermarkets, they brought prices down in Lakewood. Until they came one store essentially had a monopoly in town-not good for anyone.
When ... started opening more stores to compete with the other smaller grocery stores in Lakewood, I no longer care if people from NY come and open new stores to compete with ... What goes around comes around.
The Lakewood store owners didn't care about the community as a whole.
The same store owners that had stores in Lakewood didn't give anyone else a chance to make Pernassa. THey would open chain stores in multiple places all over town. hiring mexicans to run the store. This was just to prevent new people from privately opening similar stores in the newly developed areas.
Now we will have more choices better selection and cheaper prices.
The new business model in Lakewood build a shopping mall bring NY stores to compete with the local ones

ReplyDeleteWhy not? I was forced to shop in rude and dirty stores... not anymore. Step up your game or others will come in and do it for you.
DeleteWhy does it have to be justified?
DeleteJust as you can open a businesses in Kansas, Alabama or Williamsburg anybody can open a businesses in lkwd.
