SuperFresh Opened: August 20, 2026 Owner: Sam & Randy Abed Previous Tenants:  Fair-Mart Supermarkets (1960s) > Rite Aid Cooperative: Key Food Stores Location: 185 Kings Hwy, Brooklyn, NY Photographed: September 4, 2026 It's been a while, so let's see another supermarket in a former drugstore.

You can get a sense of just how extensive the changes are by comparing how Stop & Shop looked shortly before it closed to the pictures in this post, though I've been posting all throughout the renovation process. Now, the store is officially done and has held its grand opening while also extending its hours to 24/7.
