Happy Produce closed (Albany)

Locked up with a For Rent sign today. I never bought much more than an onion or two or a bunch of bananas, usually after stopping at Zarri's next door, but I've been shopping at Happy Produce for decades. I remember when the older couple still ran the place, then when the adult kids took over...recently a member of the third generation, a cute little girl, rang up my purchase. They tried adding an organic section a few years ago. Didn't last. Still, I'm sorry to see it go. And when I think of Whole Foods coming in down the street, I'm a tad uneasy.

    I echo yours and Eileen's sentiments as well.

      Confirmed. Just saw the big red FOR RENT signs posted. It was a convenient duo, Zarri's and Happy Produce, right next door. Alas, no longer. I hope that corner does not stay vacant for a long time. ..
