Before we begin, just a heads up: this was originally posted in April 2019, but was rewritten with new photos in July 2026. Now for the post! (Diehard blog fans may recall the original version of this post and its absolutely horrendous formatting from way back in December 2016. It was time for an update, so here's everything completely re-done plus new photos.)
The only thing salvageable from my original set of 2016 pictures (they were many cell phones ago and therefore pretty rough) is this photo of the store as it was getting an exterior renovation, above and to the left. You can see the store after the exterior upgrade here, too, and there's been a small expansion in the front-right corner which is now this glass tower area. It looks like there's also a second floor or mezzanine here, possibly for offices. Now let's step inside!
The store is just under 20,000 square feet, making it on the smaller side but not too tiny for its location in the middle of downtown Peekskill. It's also the only full supermarket in the middle of town, though Peekskill has a couple of supermarkets outside of town. The largest is
Stop & Shop, but then there's also a Save A Lot and a new independent called
Peekskill Supermarket.
This CTown actually shares ownership with the Save A Lot. La Placita Markets, which appears to have owned this CTown since around 2010, also more recently acquired the Save A Lot along with another in Newburgh.
La Placita also operates a handful of other supermarkets in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. La Placita is owned by the Narvaez family, who also are
preparing to open a Cosmo's Fresh Market location here in Peekskill.
Produce is front and center here, taking up a large portion of the front of the supermarket. Beer and packaged meat line the rest of the first aisle on the left side, with service meat and seafood counters on the back wall. Dairy and frozen are in the last aisle on the right side, and deli/bakery are in the front-right corner along with hot foods.
This store appears to be around the same size as the Save A Lot, but that store doesn't have any service departments. But since La Placita has taken over the two Hudson Valley Save A Lots, they've turned them into full-line supermarkets instead of limited-assortment discount stores.
I took these photos during the 2026 World Cup, so you'll see that playing on the TVs in the store!
The Stop & Shop here in Peekskill is a good three times the size of this CTown, but there's a lot here. You can see it's a full-service supermarket.
Some of the fixtures, such as the dairy and frozen cases, appear to be relatively recently updated. And there is an in-store bakery here, though it's not a service counter.
The upcoming Cosmo's will be south of downtown in a mostly residential neighborhood, so it'll be interesting to see how that turns out when it's done. For now, that wraps up our look at this Hudson Valley CTown!
