Ye olde butcher shoppe

This unfortunate setback plays into the hands of Wholefoods and it's support by the city. Ye Olde Butcher's Shoppe could had rivaled Whole Foods. The report is saying that the building's owner or landlord is in financial trouble and not the market itself who is the tenant. I wish the owner of Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe would come on this site and keep residents abreast of what progress or setback is made or occuring. Lafayette Food owner Lance Atisha had kept the community abreast of the progress of his store before he had opened.

All the lights were on this afternoon and it appeared to have more stock on the shelves.

That had been occuring for about a month

Is the existing stock on their shelves still any good from when it was first put there months ago...? Ok, just being snarky. I AM looking forward to their opening.

So, I wonder about the negative line, quoted above...it appears they are on track to open, so why use the past tense "could".

When is the opening date if they are on track to open? This market had been preparing to open for two years. I would love to see them open. Maybe I should had said "would or will rival" instead of could. Let us see what the owner of the building does. The owner is in financial trouble leaving the tenant in limbo.

I walked by today. All of the lighst are on and they have even started stocking frozen foods in the freezers. A blackboard has some menu items written on it... Seems like it *might* open soon! Does anyone have any details?

Great news! The opening must be soon now, 'finally'. The non-perishable frozen stuff on the shelves has been stocked for many months. The cold stuff will have to be sold sooner or thrown out.
