Mono’s website says:

“We believe in having fewer but better things. That’s why we decided from the outset that every single part we use matters, and every little detail counts. We sourced the highest quality parts and materials from around the world, and if we couldn’t find a component that met our standards, we worked with industry experts to make it ourselves.”

“So I just walked by the (former) Dupont 7-11 and noticed there was no longer a sign on the door and it appeared to be open. Walked in to find half the store cleared out, but a single guy sitting behind the counter staring at his phone. He said 7-11 is gone but they are going to re-open as an independent bodega-type store.

Stay tuned.
