When A Walmart Comes To Town
Mesha McPhie
Zoom Beauty Supply, 1111 Pennsylvania Ave.
This beauty supply shop has been open here for over 20 years selling wigs, weaves, barber supplies, straighteners and other beauty products. It has a strong local customer base and, McPhie said, some loyal patrons make their way across Brooklyn to come to the shop. She said their success is due to their attention to customer service. “We get to know them real well. A lot of people like to come here and tell me I’m the only one who they want to help them.” She couldn’t foresee Walmart having much of an impact on that.
