In 1963 the partners purchased five lots from Milton Coffman Senior in anticipation of relocating. In 1971 the dilapidated condition of the area prompted an in-depth planning program by the city planners and in that year the Urban Renewal Agency put the plan into action. The area took on a new look with beautiful brick buildings and a senior citizen complex and in 1974 a new Brattis Grocery and Market. The building encased 6000 square feet in comparison to the 2500 square feet of the “old store”. The way of business did not change however, SERVICE and QUALITY was the most important policy.
