Update: Corrado's Market!

Fairfield Welcome back to the Corrado's Market in Fairfield! If you recall, I was blown away when I went to this Corrado's as I definitely visited it at its high point. But Corrado's as a whole has been declining steeply and quickly, with the first cracks in the operation showing when they canceled their upcoming Brick store (and apparently doing the same in Old Tappan ). Their strip mall in Wayne was foreclosed on, then the store closed last month . They closed stores in North Arlington and Denville in 2021 and 2023, respectively. While I don't know exactly what's going on inside the company, it sure looks like it's crumbling before our eyes.

397 US-46, Fairfield, NJ

Original Grocery Tenant: A&P Address: 397 US-46, Fairfield, NJ Opened: 1960s Closed: unknown Later Tenants: Walgreens Photographed: January 15, 2018 We're taking a quick look at a former A&P here in Fairfield, NJ. Although Fairfield, a suburban municipality in northeastern New Jersey, no longer has any chain supermarkets, it is still home to a Corrado's Gourmet Market and the Lucky Farmers Market, which offers fresh produce and Asian groceries. This former A&P is now occupied by (surprise!) a Walgreens. The sign facing Route 46 is probably left over from the A&P, although it now has a rectangular Walgreens sign.  As with so many 1950s and 60s supermarkets, there's way more parking than the store would ever need. The building is located at 397 US-46, Fairfield, NJ. This post was updated on January 4, 2026 for formatting.
