To the fellow residents of Crown Heights and Prospect Heights and the family and friends of Bob and Bettys Food Market , it has been a continued honor and privilege for us to serve the you and the community.

We thank you for your ongoing support and patronage. On January 15th 2012, in an effort to better serve our customers, we made the decision to open our doors 24 hours. After a 3 month trial period, it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to resume our previously scheduled hours of 6am to 12am(midnight).

Over the past few weeks, we have been the victim of numerous successful and failed attempts of theft and vandalism.

While we have all been thrilled to see the support we received from our customers and fellow merchants, for our efforts to remain open 24 hours, we are no longer willing to risk the safety and well being of our staff members and late night shoppers.

We do hope that as members of the community you remain vigilant during your everyday activities, and that you continue to lend us your support and offer your valued input.

Thank You

    A customer at Bob and Betty’s Food Market became irate after a clerk questioned him about something and damaged a beer display worth about $300. When the 38-year-old clerk tried to stop the man he was injured injured in his arms, but refused medical attention. The report did not indicate what the clerk asked the customer about.

    Much love to you Tony. you have done so much for this community, and your stores are a pleasure to shop in. Maybe its time to get a uniformed security guard like at Compare supermarket. It just takes a few bad apples to ruin a good thing for everyone.
