Harold's Kosher Market in Paramus, which has been open for more than 50 years, is closing its doors for good -- just the latest local business to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The market, located at 67 East Ridgewood Ave., closed in mid-April, with plans to reopen later in the year.

In a Facebook post, the business said, “It’s never easy to say goodbye, but we have decided to close our doors. Over 90 years ago our grandfather built this business and our father Harold continued the tradition and through many years we proudly became a kosher institution in New Jersey. The last few months have been difficult and this was the path that made the most sense for our family, employees, and of course you, our devoted customers. Serving you all was our greatest honor and we will miss seeing the same lovely faces every week pre shabbat, and what seemed like endless simchas and kiddishes. We wish you and your families love, peace, health, happiness, and from the bottom of our hearts, a great big THANK YOU.”
