You know and love Icon, they destroyed those wonderful townhouses on East 4th street, are running an illegal Hotel Toshi on the landmarked East 10th street block across from TSP and are running an illegal hotel right above the Bean. Don't feel bad for the Bean, they new who they were renting from and that they would benefit from the customers staying in the illegal hotel run by Icon upstairs.Rocky Raccoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16111226245303016677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-43929259250793624842012-11-13T20:59:17.090-05:002012-11-13T20:59:17.090-05:007-11 is a franchise, not a chain, like Subway, whi...7-11 is a franchise, not a chain, like Subway, which means they are owned and operated by a variety of types from individual small mom and pop owners to mega owners who invest in tons of franchise operations. <br /><br />According to the article in New York Magazine a while back, they have big expansion goals in NY including giving incentives to bodega owners to convert their current bodega into a 7-11 where presumably they would make more profit by gaining access to technology that smartly manages inventory (less waste and spoilage), best prices on product and the Slurpie marketing machine.<br /><br />Landlords like Shaoul who own this 11th Street building LOVE the franchises because the corporation backs the lease so even if the business fails, they get the rent no matter what. Remember it was Shaoul that bumped the Bean for a Starbucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-67637841609067833182012-11-13T20:46:52.725-05:002012-11-13T20:46:52.725-05:00I resent that junk comment.

I bought some of my most prized vinyl records here, several awesome vintage jackets and t-shirts, and lots of old americana goodies I used as one-of-a-kind gifts for people. I loved that flea market! <br /><br />As for this big luxury housing complex, can someone point me to a legit source of that? A deed? A blueprint? A developer rendering?
