We were surprised to see a familiar employee face this week at Key Food.
After a year of partial retirement, Arrman Mohammed returned to the supermarket on Avenue A and Fourth Street.
Mohammed, a manager at Key Food, retired last April 29 after a 35-plus year career with the company, the last 10 in the East Village. (He started at Key Food in 1986 as a teenager on Long Island.)
He said he "got bored of Florida and missed the excitement of NYC and decided to return to the place I know and the
people I know."
Now an NYC resident again, Mohammed is at 52 Avenue A until tomorrow before he heads to the Astoria Key Food on Newtown Avenue.
He said he'll be back and forth at different stores but will return to the Avenue A location in two weeks.
Mohammed doesn't have a direct answer about whether he'll be back permanently, offering with a smile: "Perhaps. I go where I am needed."
