Time for another converted Western Beef/Food Bazaar location in the Bronx! This store is just shy of 40,000 square feet, and was the final location to be converted, on October 28. I did a pretty extensive post of this store right before the conversion (see here), so I'm gonna keep this kind of quick. On the outside, Food Bazaar has painted the storefront beige and red, a much better match for their color scheme than the blue and orange that used to be here.
Similarly, the inside has gotten a fresh coat of paint and some minor work.
This store was built around 2012 replacing an older store a couple blocks over, so it's not all that old. A fresh coat of paint inside has made it look quite a bit fresher than it did previously.
Produce is on the right side, with bakery in the back-right corner. Dairy lines the back wall, with frozen on the left side. The walk-in meat room used to be on the left side off of the last aisle, but that's now been opened up with a few short meat aisles. Service seafood and deli are in the front-left corner.
This location, probably because it previously had the cartoon character food decor, has gotten a full repaint and multiple wood panels added. Here you can see the temporary bakery sign hung in front of one, and I imagine permanent signage will come soon.
The minor work that Food Bazaar has done does indeed make the store look a little fresher, but it does strike me as a little rundown given that it's not that old a store. We'll see how extensive the renovation here is going to be, but it's already improved a bit.
Here you can see the last aisle with the now-open meat department (there used to be a wall separating the meat room from the last aisle where the Meat and Milk signs are now).
Depending on how extensive Food Bazaar wants to make the remodels at the other locations, this is the type of thing they could do -- leave everything where it was but remove the dividing wall.
One tiny hint of the previous decor here, with the cartoon food characters still visible behind the service butcher counter. It doesn't look like Food Bazaar is using this service counter right now, though they will likely open it up.
Seafood and deli are in the front-left corner on the front wall.
And a look across the front-end, which has new signage and checkout lane markers...
This weekend, we finish coverage of the stores Food Bazaar bought from Western Beef, plus Allegiance opens high-profile stores on Staten Island and in Central Jersey (tomorrow). Come back to check it out!
