Future Supermarket
Owner: unknown
Another store in the Bronx! We're here at Hugh J Grant Circle -- where four local streets come together with Metropolitan and Westchester Avenues, with the 6 train passing overhead and route 95 underneath -- to check out a supermarket under construction. Unfortunately, I don't really have any information about the supermarket coming soon to this 14,000 square foot former theater space that was a gym and a church in later iterations, other than I happened to be walking by and saw a sign for the supermarket coming soon. The way the space is set up, there's a long walkway (what would have been the entrance/box office for the theater, when it was built in 1928) that leads back to the original auditorium, extending behind neighboring storefronts. As we can see in the picture above, though, there's someone who might not be thrilled about the supermarket coming soon: the CTown just three doors down. That store, which is small but mighty and was packed when I visited, is just 7000 square feet but has the luxury of a tiny parking lot in the back with space for around 15 cars. This new supermarket will have no parking lot, as most NYC supermarkets don't.

It's not hard to tell that the space was previously a theater, given the obvious marquee extending from the building's facade. We'll keep an eye on this and see what comes in here! For now, here's the other stores we're seeing this weekend...
