Yea, that corner has seen a lot of turn-over from businesses. Aside from the grocery stores you mentioned, there was the little market/convenience store next to the Nopal Press. Owner said the homeless/drugs was an issue. Can't confirm if that was the ultimate reason they closed. Also, Two Bits was a nice addition down the street on 5th and Spring. There were two convenience stores off 5th and 6th; both on Spring.
Was honestly surprised to see the 7-Eleven on 5th and Broadway go. Never liked to go there. My go-to market for after 6 pm snack and energy drink runs was Mission Market at the Spring Arcade building...but they closed maybe 2-3 weeks ago.
I live in the area and I would love a 24-hour spot to buy groceries. I can only dream...
