The Market Report

Store Closings Best Market in Hartsdale, NY is gone. It closed a few days ago, according to an anonymous commenter. Acme Market in Bergenfield, NJ is closing by November 6th, 2017. It's a former Pathmark that was very high volume, but the volume dropped when Acme took over. Styertowne on Flickr pointed out that both of Acme's closed A&P takeover stores have been closed very quietly, one-by-one, with no major announcements, which is interesting. It's not out of the question that more Acme takeover stores will be closing soon.

UPDATE 9/10/17: An anonymous commenter has informed us that the store closed a few days ago. No surprise there! Another this week from the Rockland/Westchester area! This time we're taking a look at a store immediately outside of White Plains in the suburb of Hartsdale, NY. This Best Market has an interesting location... Yes, the Dalewoods Shopping Center contains both a Best Market (gourmet warehouse) and an Hmart (Korean superstore). The Hmart is a former Pathmark and will unfortunately not be covered on this blog, due to the fact that the store was CRAZY busy! I couldn't even get one good picture inside, and forget about my idea of eating lunch in the food court. Best Market was...empty. Best Market is also significantly smaller than Hmart. And despite the fact that Hmart has a Korean focus, this location also had a large organic produce selection, a deli, a bakery, and plenty of American and Latin groceries. Best Market is stuck with lower turnover, higher prices...
