The Berkshire Food and Drug store may be legally evicted in court later this month by following its refusal to leave the property.
Gables Residential real estate company, which manages the Berkshire Apartments, may have to explore legal options to regain access to the space, according to School of Public Affairs senior and Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3D10 representative Joe Wisniewski.
The current owners continue to operate the convenience store located in Berkshire Apartments’ lower levels in protest of the decision to close the store and renovate the location, according to Joe Wisniewski.
Gables Residential plans to turn the space into a Wi-Fi café and study room while increasing the size of the gym, according to an online petition against the changes.
The current owners of the store did not comment on the store’s operation. Gables Residential did not respond to requests for comment.
