Not only is Jerusalem Market, in the Courtyard Shops on Plymouth, the only Middle Eastern grocery on the north side, but it's just a few blocks away from Ann Arbor's only mosque. For all its location-location-location, in the last several years it's had a neglected look to it. New owner Mohamad Mahbi bought it from the courtly and gracious Shaban Abdel Jabar a few months ago, and hopes to turn it around; Mahbi also owns Ypsilanti's Sahara Market.
