Good for them. Why not cash in your investment to provide some much needed housing? Obviously their customer base wasn't making it worth it to stay there

Is that a shame? They didn't lose their lease, or get hit with a huge rent increase. They cashed out.

I wonder if they didn't want to be stranded when the bridge is torn down and being replaced.

Great Wall Kitchen Supply, North side of Kneeland Street Boston between Harrison Avenue and Knapp St https://www.yelp.com/biz/great-wall-kitchen-supply-boston

What other shops around Chinatown and nearby neighborhoods have kitchen/restaurant supplies?...

When will the new kitchen supplies shop be opening across the street from Cambridge Prospect Street Whole Foods Market?...

in a couple of years the only things you will be able to buy in Boston are booze and tapas. Forget about gasoline, hardware, paint, and roast beef sandwiches. Anyone with a vehicle will be the only ones to be able to buy these sundries.

One of the articles says local restaurant workers come by with hand carts to buy stuff.

Yes it's a restaurant supply store, but they also are open to the public. It doesn't appear that way from the outside nor do they advertise it, but they really don't need to. They've been open for I think seventy years or something, make their money from restaurants. Being open to the public is just a bonus really. If you walked in there, sure it looks like you walked into a factory in the 80s but you can stock your home kitchen with smallwares and pans that'll last years
