United Brothers and Elliniki are similar, basically identical. I don't actually know the history behind it. Probably something like a CVS setting up shop across the street from a Walgreens.
United Brothers is interesting. It's an institution, but the family's that owns it makes their real money from real estate now. And apples. Good apples. Around October the apple barn next to the main United building is the best smelling place in NYC. $0.89/lb.
