What they do
A & N Fruit Store, also known as Shan Fu Grocery, is a family-owned corner produce stand in Manhattan‘s Chinatown. Operated by Dong Wang and Helen Chen since 2010, the shop is a local favorite for its “two-ingredient” fresh fruit slushies (primarily watermelon and mango) and its annual winter tradition of building giant snowmen for the neighborhood.
Why it’s listed
The store is listed as a BIPOC-led community anchor. Beyond its role in providing affordable fresh fruit in a rapidly gentrifying corridor (Dimes Square), A & N Fruit Store represents the cultural resilience of Chinatown’s family-owned retail layer. Its commitment to additive-free refreshments and neighborhood joy (the “Canal Street Snowman”) makes it a high-alignment node for the urban food environment.
