For many residents in the Inner Sunset, Issam Dabit is a familiar face: For 41 years he and his family have run 828 Irving Market, the grocery store that is predictably located at 828 Irving St.
The 62-year-old and his two brothers purchased the store in 1982 for $75,000. It was a lot of money back then, he recalled. The store remains a local spot for basic supplies from trash bags to groceries to alcohol. His brother also works there, and sometimes one of his sons helps out too. If it weren’t a family business, the store wouldn’t survive, he said; the store cannot afford to hire any additional staff.
Pacing up and down the aisles, Dabit pointed to the well-stocked shelves and fridges. “The store is healthy, it’s full,” he said. The store also holds a large liquor section and several beer fridges — some for singles, others for six-packs — which brings in significant income, some 20 percent of what the store makes.
