Garth,
I believe both stores are operated by observant, probably Orthodox,
Jews. Today, 3/14, is a Jewish holiday-Purim. If I'm not mistaken, they
close for virtually all Jewish holidays, major and minor. Another
plausible explanation is that the ownership is non-Jewish but the employees
are predominantly so-an entirely possible scenario in New York City.
