Its so nasty it makes MacGruders look good. Check out the seafood and meat department. It goes to show that no part of the animal is wasted, Looks like an organ farm.

Now the shopping center is full of chinks. It's going to turn into another little Korea Town like the Glory Days shopping center near 28/29.

What is the name of it? Is it somewhat respectable or just a generic immigrant shop?

yup, definitely an improvement for the C'ville ghetto
Of course, you probably miss your palm reader and the adult movie store on 29/28.

An improvement? Really? It would have been nice if they could have incorporated one or two American flags into the yucky mess of flags they have flying over there.
I hear it already reeks in there, not even open a week.
You bring up a good point though, it IS better than an adult movie store. Just not as good as a book store might have been or a nice grocer that would meet the needs of the majority of surrounding neighbors. I just worry there will be a wicker hat and slipper vendor out front soon.

The "trash fish" selection is especially nice as are are the pig entrails and other unidentifiable sea creatures. I thought the wife was going to heave before we got out. At least it will make the house easier to sell in a couple years since it is within walking distance. Thats if the health department doesnt shut it down first. The kids at the nearby day care center will get to see some large rodents without have to go the zoo as well;;.

What's up with all of the ugly flower displauys outside it looks like a funeral home. The flags make the parking lot look like a circus. I was afraid to go in but now I have to so I can see it for myself. I will report back later....

Where have you been, unanswered illegal immigration has been going on for the past 30 years. If it bothers you, move to Arlington where it is embraced

Well I just shopped there. It's not bad, the produce section is great. I just don't think people are used to seeing all the live sea food. Actually if you are a seafood lover this is the place to come. They carry regular grocery's that you
get a Giant. Stuffers, Oreo's, Chips, Butter, Milk. Beside the live sea food its just like Giant.......

Don't lump fairfax in with Centreville. All those years being next to Manassas will take a toll.

You mean in a wife beater and missing 2 teeth? I'm sure you'll get some looks but they'll take your money.

Giant these days is more expensive than Wegmans.
And even since they change their owners, quality went to shit.
No to mention the shitty re branding they recently completed.
The new logo is total crap.

Magruder's in Vienna often has spoiled meat on display. They should run an ad campaign with the slogan, "Rotten meat. It's the other white meat."

So what ended up happening to this place? I feel like it was open for 3-4 months tops, before going out of business. Just wish someplace respectable would fill the space.

They packed up and fled overnight. At least that is what the manager of the building stated. They stopped payments on their lease and were being sued. Good ridence IMO. I walked in there once to see what the hype was all about after the initial opening. Those f*ckers had $6 cereal and the milk/juice/cheese section did not have working refrigeration.
Thank you Korea for moving into what once was a great city. Way to run the place into the ground! That is why I sold my house and moved away.

I hope a decent AMERICAN business goes in there soon. I doubt it will be another grocery store since two of them have failed there. Maybe a restaurant?

The ONE positive thing about that building, it's NOT Korean owned! Thank god for that...if it was I doubt they would have left. They would have stuck to selling spoiled milk and OVERPRICED items to their own. Didn't those dirties realize LOTTE is right down the road? I guess not, dumb f*cks.
Goodbye, Centreville....Asiandale is moving west!!!!!
