I am writing to you to proudly announce the opening of a new small size store in Berkeley in a location that brought much trouble and problems to a quiet neighborhood in Berkeley.  

The store, which was years ago a liquor store that caused a lot of pain and troubles to the neighborhood, is now a family local business to serve the neighborhood.  

The store at 2440 Sacramento St., that was declared in 2006 a public nuisance for many troubles and violations, is now under a new owner, and is now a grocery store bringing a business much needed and welcomed in the area with a large selection of organic products and children's healthy snacks next to a large selections of groceries, frozen foods, juices and more.  

The owners are a young couple, Adel and Marianne, naming the store after their son, Alex, born on the same month the store was purchased, and they are looking to provide a service from their family to the families in the area.
