Look Inside: Foodtown - Wakefield, Bronx, NY

This store opened as a Met Foodmarket in 1985 under owner Bernabe Cabrena, who in 2011 transitioned to Foodtown.

It's a great looking store, and even looked pretty good as a Met way back when. It's clear this store's owner and management take pride in it. My pictures are not wonderful inside, but here we go.

At 10,500 square feet, the supermarket is not enormous but feels larger due to its spacious produce department and first aisle (look at those sightlines -- all the way to the back of the store!), plus it has a parking lot and feels more suburban, as you get into these northern neighborhoods of the Bronx.

Morning stocking in full swing at the time of my visit. I like the diagonal checkerboard tile because it's not overwhelming, but a nice touch to tie in with the decor.

The aisle markers don't quite match the decor, so they might be slightly newer. Perhaps the decor comes from the Met Foodmarkets era, and the aisle markers would have been placed in for the conversion to Foodtown.

Dairy and frozen in the last aisle, with a very nice wood-look floor. More morning stocking going on!

A look across the front end shows us checkout lane markers that match the aisle markers, which might mean that they were replaced as well. I like the flooring along the front end here! This store is located at 4332 White Plains Road, and is about one mile north of the other Foodtown we saw. And that wraps up our travels along White Plains Road, come back tomorrow to see what's up next!
