Food tends to be emotional and people tend to develop loyalty to certain stores, Vincenzo's being an extreme example of that. I would have thought its' core customers would get there no matter what.
Few businesses, I'd think, are sustained primarily by their "core customers". Most people are fickle, have no strong loyalty to many/most of the businesses they patronize, and are easily swayed by convenience.
Vincenzo's is fantastic. But I went there a lot more often when I lived a 5 minute walk away and it was on my commute home.
