Moo & Oink may go out of business.
The place should be declared a historic landmark.
It will be a sad day if it happens.
While it is too far away to be my local grocery I have stopped in many times on my way in and out of Chicago. My favorite Moo And Oink product is the Hot Links.
Hot links are nothing but cheap sausage links loaded with intense heat. Damn good stuff.
The store on South Stoney Island may look intimidating to most corn fed hoogies like me but I never felt threatened. Being the only white person usually got me thumbs up from employees and security folks.
When I visited their south suburban Hazel Crest store it was much different. The customers really did give me an evil eye as if to say, what’s whitey doin’ in heah. Some looked and pointed as if we were from another planet. Now I know how Al Sharpton must feel like. The wife wanted out immediately, but not until I got my packages of hot links.
Still have not tried their famous Moo And Oink signature hand cleaned chitterlings. Probably never will.

Methinks the local super mercados are the new moo & oink. They have wonderful fresh produce @ great $'s, homemade chorizo, meat selections you can't find @ the local grocers, all the great cheeses and much more.
Very friendly, too!
too bad about Moo and Oink. I have never been to their stores but have ordered cases of their tips.
I also agree with Terry, I get treated pretty well at our local Mercados and they have a lot of great stuff.
A sad, sad story.
