Before we begin, just a heads up: this was originally posted in July 2020, but was rewritten with new photos in July 2026. Now for the post! Hamilton Heights, in upper Manhattan just below Washington Heights, is home to two major supermarkets and both appear to be owned by Jaime Luna. In addition to this Key Food, which was a CTown for around 15 years, there's a CTown four blocks north.
This store is around the same size as the CTown, measuring around 10,000 square feet. The layout is very similar, too, with deli just inside the entrance on the left, produce lining the rest of the first aisle, meat on the back wall, and dairy/frozen in the last aisle.
Though this store seems to be right around the same size as the CTown, it definitely feels much smaller.
Still, you can see some similarities to the CTown like the overhangs over the deli department.
Jaime Luna also owns a Key Food in the Bronx.

This post was rewritten on July 6, 2026 with new photos.
