Montebello Jr. Market CUP

Lives down the street; calls the store a safe, clean one-stop shop and says employees would call police if something happened, unlike a robbery he witnessed elsewhere.

Lives half a block away; praises the store's variety, medicines, pet food, and courteous staff under the new ownership.
