Feb. 27, 2015 Staff Report

A health food store—offering nature’s prescriptions—is opening at 5-29 50th Avenue, where Dog Island City was located for about five years.

There are few details on the 600 sqf. health food store– such as when the owners plan to open it.

Dog Island City operated out of that location until June 2014, before moving into a larger space on 44th Drive, by Jackson Avenue.

Dumb idea. Bring something new that doesn’t exist here yet. God knows the laundry list is long. But no, let’s do a repeat of what’s already been done, in the 3 block radius. Not to mention their location is nestled right smack innthe midele of 2 existing supermarkets. One of which, food cellar, carries tons of natural and health type products. And then of course there is the natural frontier supermarket 3 blocks away. AND it is way larger than this 600 sq/f location that will open. Oh, and the pharmacy part – there is the duane reade and small on a block away on vernon blvd. Retarded.

Nice idea, but there is already a health food store in this neighborhood. Hopefully, they will find a way to be profitable.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
