Apparently the BCS Asian market is going to close this summer unless someone local buys it. I pulled this from bookface.

The owner couple of BCS Asian Grocery Store have been thinking of retirement at least for a couple of years, as their adult kids are in Houston, and they were originally coming from Houston to open their store here. Originally, they were thinking to get BCS locals to take over their store, but it is difficult to keep a grocery store like that without any prior experience.

Note: this couple used to partially own an Asian grocery store in Houston (on Bellaire).

Oh no! We love going there and finding fun chips and other goodies. Sure it's crowded and not all slick and glossy, but it has so much great stuff and the prices are awesome.
Why yes, yes I really do run the best (and only) BCS ICEE Guide!

It's not crowded, the checkstands are the only point where you may have to wait due to poor staffing/efficiency. It comes across as extremely low volume. If it ends up closing I think most if not all of the center will be redeveloped as townhomes or something.

I was thinking crowded more as in the aisles being so full of stuff. I never minded the wait at the checkout, it wasn't that long, though maybe it also just felt a bit nostalgic for the older registers.
