A corner grocery store in North Omaha is shut down after ten years. Johnson's Corner Store has closed due to too much violence in the area and not enough customers.

It's only a corner store. In a hurry you can get a loaf of bread or some milk.

But for a few others, like Larry Rose, the store provided a weekly paycheck. Rose worked at the store for almost five years.

Now it's closed. It's boarded up and takes its place with other closed business and empty lots in an already depressed area of town.

As for Rose, he's out of work.

"And now, I mean this is the first time I've ever been out of a job for a long time. Now I'm just out here trying to get a job," Rose said.

Police lights, yellow tape and the violence that goes along with it has scared the customers away. This neighborhood around 24th and Pratt isn't the neighborhood it was years ago.

"When I first started working down here, kids used to run down here everyday for candy after school," said Rose. "Now parents don't want their kids walking down here, you know. You've got killings down the street."

Now people who live in this neighborhood who don't have transportation, will have to walk by the boarded up building to find another place that sells milk and bread.

"Now they've got to walk all the way down on the other end of 24th street or all the way on 16th Street," Rose said. "I mean old people don't have transportation. I see them right now walking up and down. I mean you cant even get a newspaper down here."

Troy Johnson, owner of the store, apologized to the community for closing the store. But he says he had no choice because he was losing too much money.

Johnson hopes to use the building for something positive in the community. If that doesn't work out he says he will have to put the building up for sale.
