Seen in older guides, checked Nov 2026: Aviv kosher shop and butcher (Hanauer Landstraße): managers convicted in 2015 of selling non-kosher meat as kosher; the shop is called 'former' by the community paper. Do not list. · Migdal kosher grocery (Saalburgallee 30D, listed in Dec 2024 newsletter): not in the 2026 Rabbinate list; its former owners now run Mira-Markt, and a new Saalburgallee grocery is only 'planned'. The jg-ffm.de page still shows 'Migdal' at Heddernheimer Landstraße 24, which is now Mira-Markt. · chabadfrankfurt.org (linked from chabad.de): now serves unrelated content.
