Hall had been shopping at Pro- duce Distributors for a couple of years. When she heard the discount market was closing due to illness in the owner’s family, Hall’s first reaction was sadness but then she began to look at the building as something the trio might want to purchase for a business venture they had been considering. On what was supposed to be the market’s next to last day, a Friday, Hall was able to talk to the owner while she stocked up. “I got a little emotional,” she re- called, telling him that the commu- nity needed a place like this. When she told him of the plans she had with her friends, she stressed that she would leave the market open. The owner liked those plans and priced the building to her, though he noted that someone else was supposed to give him an answer about buying the building the fol- lowing Monday.
