BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â Even before Thursday s ribbon-cutting ceremony, community members were already shopping for groceries at the new Al-Aqsa supermarket and restaurant on 1350 Fillmore Avenue. In this store, right on my right hand [side] are fresh fruits and vegetables. Which are very much needed in our community, said Darius Pridgen, President of the Buffalo Common Council.
Co-owners Talha Baktah and Mohammed Hasnat invested around $2 million into the market, and say they ll invest one million dollars more as they grow.
