Beauty Supply Without Demand

I noticed a few days ago that Cherry Beauty Supply is now closed, and the corner store at Flatbush and Westbury Court is now for rent. This ranks among one of the least surprising business closings in our neighborhood's history, and I say that with no knowledge whatsoever about the specifics of its wares.

Cherry Beauty Supply was at 676 Flatbush Avenue. Directly across the street, at 671 Flatbush Avenue?

And just across Westbury? At 686 Flatbush Avenue?

Staying between Westbury and Parkside at 696 Flatbush sits the shuttered storefront of Sweet Mother's Place African Market, formerly featuring "beauty supply." Across the street at 703?

And if you go all the way down to 712 Flatbush, there is this:

All of this is within two city blocks! I'm no economist, but I sense that this market is saturated.
