Raymond's Five Points Market is a longstanding convenience store located at 1904 11th Avenue South near Five Points South. It got its start in 1947 when Raymond Josof bought an existing fruit stand with funds he borrowed from his fiancée Louise.
In 1983, Josof sold the business to his son, Raymond, Jr, but still worked every day at the counter. Raymond III currently works alongside his father at the store.
