The site, located at 10405 Old Olive Street, measures 10,450 square feet and has been home to Kohn’s since 1997. The Kosher market began operating in 1963 when Holocaust survivors Simon and Bobbie Kohn started the business, which was most recently run by their children, Lenny Kohn and Rosemary Kohn Cooper.
