LOS ANGELES<\/strong> – A beloved market in Chinatown<\/a> is shutting down next month after a rash of robberies and a drop in business. It’s just the latest business to be forced to close because of crime.<\/p>\n

Yue Wa Market owner Amy Tran says her customers are sad to see this happen.<\/p>\n

“I tell customers I have to close in September. They say, \u2018What happened? What happened?\u2019” Tran said.<\/p>\n

She’s owned the market off Broadway and Ord for 18 years. Her shop has suffered repeated robberies, and she said there has been a decline in business post-pandemic and amid ongoing ICE raids in L.A.<\/p>\n

Yue Wa has served the elderly and low-income, who will now have one fewer option for affordable fresh produce.<\/p>\n

The market has been Tran’s main source of income for nearly two decades, so her children have created a GoFundMe page<\/a> to help her pay for health care so she can retire.<\/p>\n
