This makes me angry.  Many Youngstown politicians, including the mayor, have expressed the need for more grocery stores inside the city limits.  They often call Youngstown a food desert. 

So why sell a building originally designed as a grocery to an entity that will not use it for a grocery store??

No grocery chain will take a business adventure in Youngstown. The risk is too high due to shoplifting.
