The Lakewood Citizen

Hello Neighbors:

This evening I walked to the Carnival Fresh Market store for some groceries and noticed a sign on their door that announced management is considering on closing the doors if business does not pick up.  There is a chance we could lose the convenience of having a grocery store at the end of our street.  Plus many landlords advertise to potential renters there is a grocery store is within walking distance near their home; which is a great selling feature.  Active businesses and occupied homes in our area help sustain the value of our property and keeps our location a desirable place to live.  I realize our street can not save the store but if we all do our part we have a better chance retaining their services.

Please do what you can to patronage the Carnival Fresh Market and encourage other Cleveland or Lakewood residents to use this grocery store.  I wanted to inform you of what is happening in our area and express my concern about the potential closing of this store.  This suggestion is clearly up to you.

Thank you,
