Okey-Dokey Grocery Markets May Be Closing
June 18, 2013 | 1 min to read
After opening a dozen stores across South Florida within a few months and hosting several hiring events, Okey-Dokey Grocery Markets is now planning to close down its stores, according to a local commercial real estate broker and a trade publication.
"We've heard from various sources that they're looking to cease operations in the U.S.," said Patxi Diaz, a Miami-based retail specialist with CBRE, a commercial real estate company. Diaz helped negotiate leases on behalf of landlords for two Okey-Dokey sites in Miami-Dade County, he said.
The small-format grocery stores are backed by AgroTrade America Inc., a company established by AgroTrade International BV Investment Group, a Dutch investment firm focused on developing and managing international retail and real estate venture projects.
