Entrepreneur Hamzah Mozeb is set to launch Brooklyn Bodega at 340 E. College Ave in State College, inspired by traditional New York City-style delis. This convenient store will feature grab-and-go snacks, deli meats, breakfast items, and essentials like groceries with extended hours from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., potentially 24 hours based on demand. Having worked in family-owned bodegas, Mozeb is excited to serve students and locals alike, aiming to create a one-stop shop for community needs before and after classes.
If you need a coffee and a bagel in the morning, you could get it. If you wanted lunch, it's here. Something to drink, you've got it.
The incoming deli will offer a wide range of grab-and-go snacks, groceries, and food options, including breakfast sandwiches and deli meats.
I hope to have my deli open in August or shortly after Penn State's fall semester begins. I expect to have the store open from roughly 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily.
I spent years working in several bodega-style stores owned by my family, all while balancing my own college studies in the Big Apple.
