TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A long-standing Tucson business faces the possibility of closing soon.
Anita Street Market has been a staple in Downtown Tucson's Barrio Anita for more than 40 years.
In the 1930s, the building was originally a Chinese grocery store.
It was sold to Grace and Mario Soto in the 1980s. They have since passed away. Their granddaughter, Grace, runs the business.
The market is known for its burritos, handmade tortillas and red chili sauce.
In late 2023, Grace faced foreclosure, but was able to keep the market open.
The building was scheduled to be auctioned this week, but that auction has been postponed.
The owner tells KGUN 9, she thanks the community for their continued support.
