According to a 2009 article from the Tampa Bay Times, Obama Express’ owner, Mike Mahmoud, changed the store’s name from Food Max just days after then-Sen. Barack Obama was elected president.

“I feel so bad that the previous administration created so much hate abroad,” Mahmoud, a Palestinian immigrant, told the Tampa Bay Times in that article. “They violated the principles of the United States. When they tap your phone and you’re trying to talk to your fiancee or your wife or your love.”

That name change was bad ju-ju.
Uhm, I think maybe its his wife tapping his phone.
Why the need for armed security guards at a Food Market?
Certainly not any armed security guards at food markets I go to.
But then again; I would not step one toe in a dump called Obama Express Food Market.
Spew Chunks Alert not required.
I was guessing he had all three.
Wonder what percentage of cash paying customers “Mike” Mahmoud is getting at the Obummer Express?
One of the local high schools was renamed for Obama. Has a 60% dropout rate.
I’m glad the store and its patrons were adequately defended, but I am at the same time shocked and surprised that such violence would occur in a place with such a hopeful, peaceful and inclusive name as “Obama Express Food Market”...
Reminds me of how you know that you are in a bad neighborhood, if you find yourself on Martin Luther King Blvd.
Well I can see these becoming a nationwide franchise in the ‘hood, after Jan 2017. One stop shopping - get your booze, smokes, EBT, Sect 8 voucher, Obamaphone, “fast tax” EIC refund.

Yabbut your people slit throats, and kill babies. Kick this a hole out of the country
There's even a picture of them:
my thoughts too.
Why is there armed guards and I would never shop at a place with bozo’s name in it, infact I don’t even shop with the words like progressive in them
You know most of his clients are on welfare. I knew of a paki store which would allow welfare EBT and then when the shopper would want Cigs or beer they would charge them for cereal etc and give them cigs and beer instead.
No doubt it’s on a street that’s, one way or another, named after MLK.
