Some of the shoppers had waited eagerly for the popular neighbor hood store to reopen. The Okazaki family had operated grocery stores continuously on the site, at 1962 North Lombard, since 1932, when they opened a produce stand. But on May 15, 1985, a fire started by an electrical malfunction in an egg case destroyed the store and the family's well established < business The store reopened June 25, after months of wrangling with the plan ning commission and Tri Met over variances and permits, said Jon Okazaki Okazaki was stocking vegetables in the crisp and clean produce section, planned with an eye to neatness and appearance a special Oriental touch. His mother, Lilian Okazaki, was checking a long line of customers through one of the new wood trimmed check out stands. "I'm glad to see you're back," said a woman customer. "Glad to see yo u ," said Mrs. Okazaki. "There for awhile we wondered if we'ld ever get back," she said. Mrs Okazaki said in addition to site and son Jon, her husband Mino and another son home from college also help run the store. Handing out maps of the store near the entrance was Mrs. Okazaki's sister. Dorothy Leong, who travelled from California to help with the store reopening Nearby was a shopping cart full of balloons and in the window a huge flower display. Some of the flowers had been sent by customers "Everything in here is new ," said Jon Okazaki The new store has two thousand square feet more space wider aisles, cedar wood trimmed bins and check out stands, and a fresh coat of paint, giving the store a bright, airy feeling. Reopening didn't come easy, according to Jon Okazaki, who said he had "quite a few hard feelings'’ about the red tape the family had to go through. They originally wanted to build a new store on. the site, but their plans were stopped by city regula tions, he said Even the two thou sand square foot expansion using the old store shell was denied for a time by the planning commission, he said. "W e had so much support from the neighborhood" that the com mission eventually approved the ex pansion, Okazaki said Even Tri-Met was involved, he said: City zoning regulations do not allow parking lots to face major transit streets Okazaki said he wonders about the city's commitment to business after his family's experience with the bureaucracy Twenty em ployees were kept waiting to go back to work for seven months, he said One thing is certain the family store has the support of its custom ers "Congratulations. Jo n ." said one man as he picked out some radishes.
