Being an investment capitalist. I see an opportunity in town if played right we could really cash in.

I've been doing some research about the grocery store business in Michigan City and came across this article about independent grocery store Jim Agemy.

The article states in 1975 Mr. Agemy sold his original store at 8th and Wabash to the first black grocery store owners in Michigan City.

Does anybody know who purchased Mr. Agemy's store at 8th and Wabash to become Michigan City's first black grocery store owners?

If it is the store that I am thinking of, the people that purchased that store were of Lebanese decsent. One of mt best friends dad owned it. They moved from a store that was located in the vacant lot that is next to Ryans Pub.

By the accounts of that library article Mr. Agemy was a real mover and shaker. I was amazed to read that his stores made $70,000 profit per week and this was back in the 70s. It also said that he had a sweepstakes give away of a trip to Las Vegas every month for customers who broght in $300.00 in register receipts,

Did that include profit from Manufacturers Coupons?
