SAN ANTONIO - A small, new grocery store is opening in downtown San Antonio.

The store, which will be called Molina's, will open at a former convenience store at North Alamo and Brooklyn Avenue.

The owner, Juan Molina from Laredo, said he bought the property to help out a friend and was unaware that there was a need for a grocery store downtown.

Molina said the store will have a slight grocery mart feel.

It will have a meat market, a restaurant that serves both Mexican food and barbeque and a fuel station.

Molina's is expected to open by June.

No, "Ridonkulous", they didn't even know about the incentive before they opened. These people represent true capitalists who see a market and try to fill the need. It's a shame, though, that they will have to compete against the government and their 1-million dollar giveaway to some other grocer that will be competing with them.

Its not Lervia ...but if ya look at the surrounding stores say in a 2 mi radius it will be the best thing in that area.What we really need down there is like a handy Andy or a fiesta mart maybe (yeah i know handy andy is gone )

"the store will have a slight grocery mart feel. It will have a meat market, a restaurant that serves both Mexican food and barbeque and a fuel station." This does not sound to me like a "new grocery store" is to open downtown.
