No joking matter. My mother owns a bodega in the Bronx. There are 5 other bodegas around hers and the owners are ALL Dominicans.

how sweet thanks, I'll make a list of the things I want, since you are in a giving mood, lol.

but seriously bodegas are great!! but their aisles are sooo narrow that it discourages customers, don't you think? please clear the entrance to make it more appealing.

I know. The aisle are really narrow. Unfortunately, there is nothing my Mom can do about her bodega. It is a small location. But I bet you will find all the essentials :-)

No es chiste, bodega owners are hard working people that on average work 12 to 14 hours a day.

Profit margin: 1-3%. Bodegas sadly are a dying breed. It's hard work for too little return. Reinvestment and new industry penetration are imperative.
