The Market Report

Original Grocery Tenant:  Grand Union Address: 1581 US-202, Pomona, NY Opened:  late 1970s Closed:  2001 Later Tenants:  Stop & Shop (2001-2020) > Evergreen Uptown (2022- ) Photographed:  June 2, 2021 Welcome back to the former Stop & Shop of Pomona, NY! The 51,000 square foot store was built around 1978 as a Grand Union as a much smaller building, then renovated and expanded by Grand Union in the late 1990s. Stop & Shop acquired the location in 2001 at the time of Grand Union's bankruptcy, then closed in August 2020. We saw the store still open in 2020, too. I revisited over the summer of 2021 after the Stop & Shop had closed and the new tenant, Evergreen, a kosher supermarket, was preparing to move in. As I've said, there is a large (and growing) Orthodox Jewish population in Rockland County and much of this part of the state, making it harder and harder for traditional supermarkets like this Stop & Shop to survive. There's a ShopRite ...

Stop & Shop Opened:  unknown, closed August 2020 Previous Tenants:  unknown Location:  1581 US-202, Pomona, NY Photographed:  November 2018 Although I don't know for sure, I have a nagging feeling that this 50,000 square foot Stop & Shop started out as a Big V-owned ShopRite. I have no evidence of that other than a vague feeling. Anyway, the store, which has closed, is scheduled to be replaced by Evergreen Kosher Supermarket, whose Monsey locaiton we saw here . This store competed with an A&P-turned- Inserra ShopRite in nearby Garnerville, which still has remnants of A&P decor inside, much like Danbury . Our next stop is to the south in New City tomorrow!
