Going in to the old Big Lots/National Supermarket on S. Bway.

So...uh...what's the point of the Gangnam Style background music?

^I wondered the same thing

Yes, but veer west a few blocks from the former Broadway Bean, and you'll find an additional location of Feraro's Jersey Style Pizza opening at Ivory & Schirmer! Plus there is Schoemehls South Side grill just up the street from there.

Also, the Broadway Bean people moved in to the ice cream place up the road.

I think it probably has something to do with the cultural background of the ownership group. The one contacts name for the store is Phillip Hong. PSY is probably is favorite musician.

Well regardless of their questionable taste in music I wish them success.

I'm guessing it will be similar in size and selection to Jay's on S. Grand.

True.

Cool, looking forward to it. Maybe they'll be playing this same music while I shop. Always gotta appreciate Off Broadway Shows and Theatre in New York City - even when you're not in NYC, right?

you can forget about "former big lots". The Universal Food Market is now open!!
