I don’t know that I’d say it’s all greed from the property owner. NYC is greedy with its ever increasing property tax, insurance and water rates that property owners are forced to pay and in turn they pass it along to tenants. Rents across the board in NYC are off the charts. Not surprising why the working middle class is steadily packing up and moving out.
Nah it’s pretty much the times too. Not a lot of people go to butcher shops as in the past anymore. It’s not just the landlord but the customers base aswell that’s the problem. Cause if the people kept coming instead of going to let’s say Walmart and etc. it wouldn’t matter how much the rent was because they could afford it. Butcher shops now a days have to be in niche areas now to make decent to great money. Just sad honestly. Landlord prolly gonna turn it into something lame too.
Absolutely heartbreaking. I've been going here for 9 years and it has been a joy to have access to such high-quality food, in a charming store with a wonderful staff. People move to NYC from all over the world to have authentic experiences and enjoy small local economies supported by places like Morscher's. They are true institutions and should be protected by the city. Imagine something like this happening in Paris to a historic bakery or another food establishment? It would never happen. What a drag.
first of all, who are you to determine what "quality food" is ? we have legislation for that. we need to stop stores like that, if you want something just go to the supermarket.
@@itsMe_TheHerpeslook old man, you already hiked the guys rent up so high that he had to shut down. What more do you want? You did a selfish mean spirited thing, and people are upset. Don’t hide behind a computer screen to defend it.
I do not understand how his own brother can do him like this WOW!. I wish there was a possible way to save this piece of iconic NYC history?!?!?! Honesly, I wish I had the money to buy that building just to keep them open for ever! Such great people when I have been to their store they take such great care of you. Has anyone set up a petition or GoFundMe or something for them? Or have they choosen not to try and fight it.
@@itsMe_TheHerpes Yeah, because the government is good any doing anything beneficial! Screw that, we should not be reliant on the government!!! I don't trust the government enough to control my food.
Out of all the ridiculously rich people in NY that saw this i don't understand why one of them didn't buy the Landlord out just to make sure that good place stayed open. But i suppose that's just not how life works. The whole world is going rotten, I'm 41 and I'm glad that I've just had my last winter.
This should be considered a historical site along with certain provisions to protect iconic spots like this! Strip a people of its landmarks, statues, and anything else we held dear, what's left to fight for! You have guys who think they are women leading real men, what's happened to this country is shocking! We had manufacturing here, American was great back then. Everybody was working and there was pride in what we've built this country into! Sorry, just ranting!
This has nothing to do with taxes. The majority business owner and building landlord Siegfried Strahl spitefully quadrupled the rent. Herbie Morscher wanted to buy the building, but Strahl refused to sell it to him!!!!!!! That’s the real reason for the closing!
I'm Muslim si it's haram to eat pork, but I can appreciate people who make an honest living. Especially a generational business, I hope they'll relocate because their store isn't just you standard business cause they carry the history of their family through time along with their loyal patreons and community.
they came from Yugoslavia and run this business for 3 generations !!! ; now I finally understand why this store is known to everybody as a German store ; what a heartbreaking BS story Mr.co-owner

Tripling rent is criminal. Greed, pure greed.
One of the very last iconic places in Ridgewood. I've been going there for more than 40 years.

Never been to New York, but man this hits hard.
So tragic, heart-felt empathy!!
So sad to see something so special closing 😥
Yes, but maybe a nail salon, or a Gary's pizza shop will open up there.
Who care about that, an iconic store or some boring shop
FAREWELL MORSCHER'S PORK STORE 1954-2024

This should be illegal! WTH!?! Landlord can just triple their rent like this!?
Sounds like it's his own brother.
that's what i am saying too, it should be illegal for citizens to have food shops.
food shops should be state owned and state regulated.
@@itsMe_TheHerpes Yeah, because the government is good any doing anything beneficial! Screw that, we should not be reliant on the government!!! I don't trust the government enough to control my food.
They can. And that's the problem.
@@itsMe_TheHerpesshouldn't you be climbing into a car with 20 other face painted idiots?
What's Ridiculous Is The Owner of the Property is a Partner An Is Raising The Rent, What A Greedy SOB!!
property tax', Insurance , utilities all going up. not to mention cost of food
The good ole days were yesterday.
Someone has to save save this business and all businesses like this.
If the co-owner is family,then this is most likely a family feud. The old man is bitter about something.

This is so so sad who would do this
Sad some people are greedy
❤ farewell🎉.. 😊.. a foundation is going away 😢
But why ? ...
Wow… that landlord is such a horrible person
Very sad news
That's what happens when your property taxes and your insurance goes up.
This has nothing to do with taxes.
The majority business owner and building landlord Siegfried Strahl spitefully quadrupled the rent.
Herbie Morscher wanted to buy the building, but Strahl refused to sell it to him!!!!!!!
That’s the real reason for the closing!
Greed

What’s his partners name? And his address?
Greed for money is killing our good family values and traditions all over the world Sadly.
Greed has unlived the old way of things

That’s so F‘n sad but bidness is bidness
It’s how the capitalism that we love works
That’s sounds ignorant.

Problem is, most people aren’t pure capitalists.
Damn, all that meat looks so tasty in there. I would like to eat a lot of meat and get the meat sweats.😅
Move to a community that appreciates pork idk
Culture is disappearing from our cities. Times have changed, leaving no room for organic growth. The USA is becoming strictly business.
good, regular citizens have no business owning stores like this.
if you want something, go to the supermarket.
Commie
Build back biden
Jesus news anchors begging for story ideas… pathetic
What was the rent?
Why does the figure matter? They can't afford it. That's what matters.
