Thirty years later, Shirazi is still a grocer — until Friday, when the family will close the doors to the Brookville Super Market for the last time. Customers of the Cleveland Park market have come to think of it as more than just a store. “In some ways, Brookville has been the anchor for that strip,” said Mark Rosenman, a Cleveland Park resident since 1998 who shopped at the market at least once a week. Ten days after the Safeway closed, the Brookville Super Market opened — and, Mike Shirazi said, it’s been open every day since then. “We just want to carry on their legacy,” said Burns, who added that the new Streets Market store will open in about two months, after a renovation.
