Brothers Market to Close

All items except sushi and newspapers are 30 percent off.

Dobbs Ferry's Asian supermarket will close in a week, said owner Jimmy Wang. Though he hasn't set a specific date on which the store will officially shut its doors, he thinks it will be sometime next week.

"We'll close when everything in the store has been sold," he said. 

Until that happens, all products—with the exception of sushi and newspapers—have been marked down by 30 percent. 

Wang said business has been slow during the last few years and that the "rent and taxes are too high."

The owner of the complex that houses Brothers, Off Broadway Restaurant and G&L Deli, has been negotiating with Walgreens to rent the space as a commercial pharmacy.

That application is currently being reviewed by the village planning and zoning boards.

Despite the high rents and taxes, Wang hopes to relocate somewhere close by. 

"I love my customers in Dobbs Ferry," he said.

The letter does not seem to mention if they have personal experience as an educator or as a parentRead More with kids now, kids past years or kids future years in the Irvington School District. Sometimes the perspective is different if you have lived the experience with kids in the Irvington School District. I have three kids -- one graduate last year and is at Cornell University, one is grade nine and one is grade three. All three got great teachers, small class size and extra help or enrichment as needed. I think the arts programs can be expanded -- music, drama, fine arts (both in classes and electives plus stipends to pay teachers for clubs and after school activities). However, this is a school district that values having small class size and keeping strong all the academics core subjects required for graduation and college plus making a priority sports opportunities middle school through high schools at all levels and types of sports. If you are high achiever it works grades k-12; if you are a child with special education needs or learning issues needs or extra help needs it works too. The average student is the one who is often forgotten in Irvington School District since they just do their thing in school, after school activities and move from grade to grade uneventful but nothing that will be memorable at least in my experience.

The problem has always been skyrocketing costs- bamacare does absolutely nothing to address costs.Read More It is a complete scam that will only add to the uninsured because it makes employers accelerate dropping employer sponsored healthcare- dumping even more people into the arms of the government disaster.

When employers are offering less and less health insurance, more people are self insured orRead More uninsured and are restricted to buying policies as individuals. With the cost at over $ 1,500 per month for standard, full coverage for a family of 4, it is no wonder there are so many uninsured or partially insured ( emergency/hospital care only).
