Mr. Kim is a first-generation Korean immigrant and the proud owner of Kims Convenience  a variety store located in the heart of downtown Torontos Regent Park neighbourhood. There  he spends his time serving an eclectic array of customers  catching petty thieves  and helpfully keeping the police apprised of illegally parked Japanese cars. As the neighbourhood quickly gentrifies  Mr. Kim is offered a generous sum of money to sell  enough to allow him and his wife to finally retire. But Kims Convenience is more than just his livelihood  it is his legacy. As Mr. Kim tries desperately  and hilariously  to convince his daughter Janet  a budding photographer  to take over the store  his wife sneaks out to meet their estranged son Jung  who has not seen or spoken to his father in sixteen years and who has now become a father himself.  Wholly original  hysterically funny  and deeply moving  Kims Convenience tells the story of one Korean family struggling to face the future amidst the bitter memories of their past.  This edition includes an eight-page black-and-white photo insert of the original Fringe production and the Soulpepper production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276638183477,"sku":"ByrdShop_1770892230","price":239.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781770892231.jpg?v=1780558836","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/kims-convenience-9781770892231","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
