Popular Boynton Kosher Market Faces Eviction Fight
Will KC Market Stay Open In Boynton Beach?
KC Market, the kosher grocery store in Village Square on Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach, is facing a legal dispute that could affect its future at the shopping center. According to court filings and published reports, the property owner has filed an eviction action claiming the market owes more than $100,000 in unpaid rent, maintenance fees, and other charges. KC Market has reportedly disputed some of the charges and is working to resolve the matter.
The store opened in late 2023 in the former Publix space and quickly became a destination for Boynton Beach’s growing kosher community, offering groceries, prepared foods, bakery items, and specialty products for local families. For now, KC Market remains open and continues serving customers while the case moves through the legal process. Like many commercial landlord-tenant disputes, the matter could still be settled before any final court decision is made.
Could One Of Boynton’s Last Forests Be Saved?
A disputed piece of city-owned forested land in east Boynton Beach is headed back to City Hall after residents urged commissioners to take another look at its future. At the June 16th city commission meeting, commissioners agreed to place Boynton Forest on a future agenda for more public discussion. The decision does not preserve the property or approve development, but it opens the door for more review before any final action is taken.
Vice Mayor Thomas Turkin requested the discussion after residents continued raising concerns about a proposed 72-unit townhome project that would remove the wooded area. Unresolved questions include possible deed restrictions, Palm Beach County’s authority over the land, and what legal tools could permanently protect the site. Residents have pointed to wildlife habitat, tree canopy, groundwater recharge, cooler neighborhood temperatures, and gopher tortoises on the property. No final decision has been made, but preservation advocates say the forest deserves long-term protection.

🤔 Did You Know?
Tucked away along Seacrest Boulevard is Boynton Beach Memorial Park, but it is more than just a cemetery. It is a tangible link to the community’s earliest days. Known as the “Old Section”, it served as the first official burial ground for the pioneers who settled in Boynton at the turn of the 20th century. The earliest legible gravestones date back to 1903, just a few years after the town of Boynton was platted in 1898 and when fewer than 100 people called the area home. Many of Boyntons founding families are represented here.
