Organic Forever at 938 Kings Highway has closed after a short stint in the neighborhood.
One local said that organic foods pricing is just too high for the area because local grocers offer steep competition.
Readers, do you prefer organic or a bargain when you shop for your grocery items?
Krausz at 718 Kings Highway is like a store from another time. It sold mostly women’s clothing, but other dry goods occasionally made their way onto the shelves as well.
Sad to see you go, Krausz.

Barcode Cafe opened at 822 Kings Highway in January, serving kosher coffee and more.
The location was previously Hookah Coffee Shop, a bodega serving coffee, tea, shisha and falafel.
It’s great to see new businesses opening their doors. Good luck, Barcode Cafe.
Sushi K Bar II at 627 Kings Highway, the second location of Sushi K, is closed for renovations.
The printed sign on the door did not state what was being renovated or when the eatery would open.
Guess kosher sushi lovers will have to get their spicy salmon fix elsewhere for now.

Our friends over at Zeetron (2765 Coney Island Avenue) have now opened a second local location just a few blocks away at 1603 Sheepshead Bay Road.
Zeetron is an electronics repair shop, focusing on cell phones and video game consoles. They also sell do-it-yourself repair kits and accessories.
The storefront was previously occupied by Boutique Eldorado, a woman’s apparel store.
Long established Sheepshead Bay’s Circle Bistro located at 2801 Coney Island Avenue has closed its doors for good. Michael Amodo & Co. hosted an auction last Sunday for all of the building’s furnishings and furniture. Now all that remains is an empty shell.
This is sad. My then fiance and I took my mother to dinner at Circles over 25 years ago to introduce her to the neighborhood. Goodbye Circles Bistro, you’ll be missed.

We reported last week that the Sunoco gas station at 2701 Knapp Street is proposing to shutter its automotive service station and replace it with a new 24-hour convenience store.
In the video above, the owner’s attorney Eric Palatnik elaborated on the business’ needs to make the switch, saying that service station revenue has been dwindling nationwide, while convenience stores have been popping up in their place. Following his presentation, Community Board 15 voted to approve the proposal.
Palatnik adds in the video that the gas station will remain open, though they will be filing with the Department of Environmental Protection to replace the underground storage tank.
We called the service station this morning to ask if, when and where they would be moving, but the owner wasn’t on site. His nephew said he did not know of any current plans to replace the service station with a convenience store.
