This store was located on Paramount Boulevard in the City of Downey and always had a great selection of meat and produce. The store had a very small town feel to it. The store also used to offer monthly out door BBQs with great food. In 2006 the store closed and is currently for lease. Unless noted all pictures were taken after the store closed.
