The Grand Opening of a new business in our community was held on May 30, 2021. A new convenience store named “Good Times” is now in operation and located at 13602 Hiram Clarke. Hiram Clarke Civic Club President Keith Taylor said,” We are so pleased to have this outstanding new business in our community. I congratulate the owner, Mr. Ahmed Ali, on refurbishing and modernizing the store. It is a great place to eat, buy goods, or simply entertain yourself at the gaming consoles.”

 

The store is well-stocked with items ranging from everything from snacks and cold drinks to bread, milk, and other items you may need at the spur of the moment. Many quality items are available at the store at reasonable prices and the food is delicious. Items on the menu include burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, wings, and authentic Mexican food. “Truly residents in our community will have a good time at Good Times. Pun intended., “ said Taylor with a big smile.

 

The store represents economic development in our community and Mr. Ali has hired several new employees to operate his store and provide outstanding customer service. Mr. Ali, an immigrant from Pakistan, said, ”I am very happy to open this store and be a part of this neighborhood. It is something I have been working on for a long time. It was a lot of work to remodel the store and get the operating permits, but I am happy to see it completed and appreciate the very good support that we have been getting from our customers.”

 

“Good Times represents the values and diversity of our community. I highly encourage residents of our community to support this store and check out the food. I can testify first-hand that it is really good. I was impressed, and my family and I will certainly be back again,” said Taylor.
