The Market Report

Peekskill Supermarket Opened: 1969 Owner: Bermeo Group Previous Tenants: A&P (1959-2015) > Key Food (2016-2017) > Peekskill Green Grocers (2017-2019) > Apple Farm (2020-2025) Cooperative: Key Food Stores Location:  20 Welcher Ave, Peekskill, NY Photographed: July 10, 2026 The newest addition to Peekskill, New York's grocery scene is a freshly-opened (the official grand opening was today, in fact, but the store has been in the soft opening phase since July 1) independent in a building that's been home to many grocery stores over the years. You'd hardly know it, but this building started out as an A&P back in 1969, later getting an expansion in 1975. The original store was around 18,000 square feet, and the expansion brought it to around 34,000 square feet. A&P stayed here, with Sav-A-Center signage intact, up through the chain's bankruptcy. Key Food bought this store in the auction, and cut the sales floor back to about 20,000 square feet, open...

Stop & Shop Opened: between 1994 and 2004, replacing older building on same site Location:  1831 E Main St, Peekskill, NY Photographed:  November 2018 Quick look at a Stop & Shop just outside of the city of Peekskill. This 70,000 square foot store has been renovated inside with a relatively recent decor package, but a fairly basic design . The stretch of US-6 to the east of Peekskill which has a lot of large malls like this one. Another just to the east has a brand-new ShopRite, which we'll tour tomorrow.

At the time of my visit, this small greengrocer and international-foods store was located just around the corner from CTown at 5 Bank St. It's since been changed from Royal Fresh Market to Earth Produce by Rachel. It's a very small store but it's very clean and has a nice selection of fresh produce and, as the sign indicates, international foods. (Funny, I believe that neither of those terms is the preferred term for what they refer to; it would be most accurately written as Latin and Caribbean Grocery.) Photographed May 2016

CTown Supermarkets Owner: Wilson Narvaez Opened: 2004 Previous Tenants: non-grocery tenants Cooperative: Krasdale Location: 1049 Park St, Peekskill, NY Photographed: July 10, 2026 Before we begin, just a heads up: this was originally posted in April 2019, but was rewritten with new photos in July 2026. Now for the post! (Diehard blog fans may recall the original version of this post and its absolutely horrendous formatting from way back in December 2016. It was time for an update, so here's everything completely re-done plus new photos.) The only thing salvageable from my original set of 2016 pictures (they were many cell phones ago and therefore pretty rough) is this photo of the store as it was getting an exterior renovation, above and to the left. You can see the store after the exterior upgrade here, too, and there's been a small expansion in the front-right corner which is now this glass tower area. It looks like there's also a second floor or mezzanine here, poss...
