The New York Times has a story about the decline and possible eventual fall of Korean grocers:

The Korean-American Grocers Association of New York has about half as many active members as the nearly 600 it had a decade ago, and its president, Chong Sik Lee, says corner stores will eventually have to expand into supermarkets or close.

“In 10 years, there will be no more Korean mom-and-pop stores,” Mr. Lee said.
