thoughts on alphabets:
“it’s not a very inviting place…when i walk by i can’t tell what kind of store it is nor what it sells…”
“it looks like they’re advertising for cleaning supplies…not incredibly inviting, not much of a reason to go there with Fine Fare down the block.”

refining the scenario
In order to move forward with Alphabet Bodega’s success as a community-driven business, it first needs a complete restructuring of the design of the store.
Using the shelves for what they are at maximum capacity.
Replacing the cleaning supplies in the windows with food related services the bodega offers including Boar’s Head sandwiches and baked goods.
With re-organization comes more space for updated tables and chairs to eat, meet, play the lottery, etc…
