This is likely an upgrade over Anwar/Akter Grocery, which sold a wide range of random items, such as religious amulets, sombreros, school supplies, and adult DVDs with titles like "Anal Pleasures." Not to mention expired groceries. The grocery suffered an unceremonious ending in July 2022.

The storefront was last Smoke City Exotics, an unlicensed weed/smoke shop that got busted in June 2024.
