El Rey FoodMart grocery store in the Southside of Milwaukee has allegedly become a target by the Milwaukee Police Department and Alderman Jóse G. Pérez who apparently told the owners that their store should close early on weekends when Latino/Hispanic festivals and other events occur to avoid such impromptu nuisance crowd activity at El Rey's parking lot by impromptu chaotic revelers.
