Mike’s Market in the Oakland neighborhood is expected to shut its doors permanently.

"I'm a little in shock because I just found out that they're closing. Um I hadn't heard yet, and it is kind of it’s sad. It's really sad,” Lisa Tumi, a regular shopper of the store, said.

For some, it’s the only grocery store they’ve known.

"I was raised down here at 1014 NE Michigan. Been here since I was two years old,” another shopper Latisha Jones said.

The store’s closure leaves many with a lot of uncertainty.

This taco truck worked from the store’s parking lot for more than a decade.

"They've let her stay out there and have her own little business. And so we don't know exactly what will happen with that either,” Tumi said.

Meanwhile, shoppers are worried the neighborhood will become a food desert.

One of the closest grocery stores will be in North Topeka across the Sardou Bridge.

"You know they have to spend that extra money to get on the bus to go to you know Walmart. Dillons,” Kody Moran said.

Many said they will miss the convenience.

"I love my little store...It's really convenient. They're wonderful. They're nice. I mean if there's something here that you don't see, and they can get it. They'll bring it in for you,” Tumi added.

There is no word when the store will officially close, and what will take its place.

Many said this was tough news especially after the passing of the store’s former manager Kent Frederick last summer.
