The Market Report

Fine Fare Supermarkets Opened: August 13, 2025 Owner:  unknown Previous Tenants:  non-grocery tenants Cooperative:  Retail Grocers Group Location:  4650 Broadway, Inwood, Manhattan, NY Photographed:  September 12, 2025 We're back in the Big Apple for today's posts! The Market Report's first stop is way up in Inwood, the farthest-north neighborhood in Manhattan, to check out a brand-new Fine Fare Supermarket. Like the one at Broadway and 178th, about 20 blocks south, this one is branded Fine Fare Gold. It's in the ground floor of a new development in a historic building . The Packard Building is all but unrecognizable today, with a residential tower extending many floors above it and an approximately 16,000 square foot Fine Fare at the base. (Note that that's an extremely rough estimate, and I don't actually know just how large this store is.) Similar to the Fordham Heights Fine Fare , this one is modern, spacious, and almost suburban-feeling while being in an i...

Food Bazaar Supermarket Owner: Spencer An Opened:  2012 Previous Tenants:  Food Dimensions (2001-2012) Location:  1590 Gates Ave, Ridgewood, Queens, NY Photographed:  December 6, 2023 It's been a little while, so I think it's time to check in on Food Bazaar and see what they've been up to! A lot, as usual. Here's a roundup of what they're doing: They're preparing to take over a Stop & Shop in Bridgeport, CT, which will be their third location in Bridgeport (see here ) Renovations are being wrapped up at the Junius Street Food Bazaar in Brownsville, Brooklyn The store at 34-20 Junction Blvd in Jackson Heights has closed as it is demolished and rebuilt, following a renovation and expansion (and the addition of a parking lot!) at the 35-60 Junction Blvd location two blocks south The 57th Avenue store -- their original, opened in 1988 -- is also preparing to be demolished and rebuilt And that's only what's happening at the stores I haven't been ...

Can anyone guess what this store used to be? Do I hear a... Pathmark? Ding ding ding! You got it! Moving on from Brooklyn, we're now tackling Manhattan, moving from the very north end of the borough (here in Inwood, which is very close to Marble Hill across the river and Kingsbridge just north), to the southern end. Inwood borders on suburban, allowing for this store to have a large parking lot. It's worth noting that the parking lot is also rented out to people who want to park long-term, so not all these cars are here for Associated. I visited early in the morning, so it was pretty empty. I'm not entirely sure how the Pathmark's layout would have been, but this store (at 35,000 square feet) resembles a smaller Pathmark's layout, so it's possible the layout hasn't been significantly changed. The decor, obviously does not! All of the decor and most of the fixtures have been redone. The produce department is significantly larger than what most Pathma...
