Summary:
When a group of New York artists heard that a beloved neighborhood entrepreneur was in danger of losing his business, they bought the entire contents of Hercules’ Fancy Grocery Store in New York City.

It took six hours to completely empty the little bodega and Hercules cashed-out of his operation. (“What is it about certain businesses that would make a person so passionate?”)
