I think ShopRite's kosher program in general is very strong.Zacharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474240202879870641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4842206651158755326.post-70956183720693204342020-09-09T19:09:09.597-04:002020-09-09T19:09:09.597-04:00This store originally was a Finast.

Interesting how Inserra has been so successful there in an area with a large Jewish population, but all of Waldbaums stores in Rockland County ended up closing long before they sold out. A half a mile down the road there was a rare non-Long Island King Kullen which opened and closed quickly (though Inserra failed a few miles away on Rt. 59 in Nanuet opening a huge state of art store and closing it only a few years later.<br /><br />Trivia: Finast had an identical sister store to Tallman (the original store) in Poughkeepsie (literally exactly the same building/floor plans including a ‘reverse alcove’ meat case which jutted out to the back aisle by 6 feet!) on Rt. 44. <br /><br />Royal Ahold converted Finast Poughkeepsie to their Edwards Food Warehouse brand and then a few years later tore down a Caldor on the other end of the shopping place and built a late 90’s Stop and Shop and the Edwards store became a Big Lots.D Raffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592313251553390192noreply@blogger.com
