Best Buy Liquors on Fulton

Does anyone know the actual voice number over there? I lost their card :oops: and the listed (718) 237-1219 is just a fax number.

Really like that place. Happily drinking one of their $15 wall wines just about every night.

Thanks!

According to my little calendar card thingy that they gave me, the number is 718-237-1145 or 718-237-4244.

Thank you Antigone!

The owner is a real scoundrel -- so maybe you should consider shopping elsewhere.

He moved his liquor store across the street because his old building was slated for eminent domain -- then leased out the old building to some local entrepreneurs without telling them that their million-dollar renovation was about to be bulldozed.

Whoa- I didn't know that was the same owner. I remember that weird liquor store across the street and I never shopped there because it was, well, weird. I had no idea that the 2 liquor stores were even related.

I read about the guys who got screwed a year or two ago but never knew who their landlord was. Awful story. And yeah, worthy of boycotting Best Buy.

While I felt bad about what happened to the guys behind the performance space to be which never happened, seems to me they didn't do their due diligence before entering into their one year lease on the space. And of course making major investments on a property when you only have a one year lease seems rather foolish. Not sure I have enough information to boycott the former business in the same space (are you really sure they were the landowner, anyway?).

the article says they had a 10-year lease.

I stand corrected.

That is BS but it is also partially on the leasees for not doing their due diligence. Emminent domain condemnations are public information.
