Agafonov's Gastronom

Agafonov's Gastronom is a Russian grocery/delicatessen owned by the Agafonov family. It is located on the corner of Matsuda Street and Baker Street (aka Klebnikov Street), in the northwest of Okinami, on the edge of the Russian neighborhood. A variety of imported food from Russian is sold here as well as family, local and other Saharin-made/grown items. This family business, and the building, is owned by Iosif and Ekaterina Agafonov(a) and employs other members of the Agafonov family.
The building is three stories and red brick with the Gastronom located on the ground floor and apartments all occupied by Agafonovs on the upper two floors. The roof is ringed by a six-foot fence because there is a chicken coop and the chickens are permitted to roam the roof. There are also large containers and constructed beds to grow vegetables. In the back of the store, on the cash register side, there is a door leading the office, stairs to the upper floors and basement, and a backdoor, which is the technical front door for the apartments and where the mailboxes are located. 
The Gastronom has a couple large windows with red and yellow awnings, though the windows are covered by blankets in the winter. Items may be kept in the window display area like a cooler at these times. Metal chairs and tables are located outside and some may be inside when it's cold. When entering the store, the cash register is to the left and the food service counter is to the right, along the wall. There is a kitchen in the back with the door behind the food service counter. Along the back wall are fridge and freezer cases with to-go boxes stored above them. The center of the store has barrels and display boxes for fresh produce, which may have preserved items like jam or pickled cabbage in the winter.
