There goes another bodega (Christopher deli)

Christopher deli (on Franklin between St. John's and Sterling place) is closed with a "for rent" sign on it.

I noticed this the other day too.  They always had an extensive but unpredictable beer selection.

Seems there's something in the works -- the "for rent"'sign is gone and whynot's link no longer works

Confirmed --- works happening and permits are up!

The ask was $5k a month. https://www.agorafy.com/listing/158768/758-Franklin-Avenue-Retail-for-Lease-Ground Not a really big space... I hope they bring their A Game. Franklin Ave is not for amatuers.

Now in the process of becoming a bar or restaurant. Lots of work going on: Ventilation, tiling, etc. Worker did not know what type of food would be served. He was too far down the food chain.

The guys that work there said it was going to be a Korean place with the goal of opening in 2 weeks. Hopefully they stick to the timeline!

I looked in last night and they are pretty close to being done, but construction equipment is still visible. ...other people have also been told that this will be a Korean restaurant.

Looks nice. Exposed brick and artfully sloppy painting. The LLC is called Good Chance something something.

Indeed. A request for a full liquor license has now been started by Good Chance 758 Corp., 758 Franklin Avenue (Sterling/St. John’s) – Full. Note, I expect this place to open before they obtain their liquor lic, given how far along they are in construction and how long liquor licenses take to obtain.

The menu is mostly Thai with a couple of Vietnamese dishes like pho.

I asked "Is it Korean food?" Response:

Looks good but pricey.

Are those prices in Thai bhats or Vietnam dongs? I'll check it out, better be a nice sit down joint with great food for those dollars in this neighborhood.

My wife and I went here and really like it. Went in person and ordered delivery, which was fast and currently offering 15% off online orders I think.
