The Market Report

Original Grocery Tenant:  Delray's Thriftway Address: 322 W Bridge St, New Hope, PA Opened:  1979 Closed:  1999 Later Tenants:  Clemens (1999-2006) > SuperFresh (2006-2015) Photographed:  January 12, 2021 Just next door from yesterday's McCaffrey's  is this former supermarket, today a gym and physical therapy facility. This facility is slightly smaller than the McCaffrey's at around 22,000 square feet. It was constructed in 1979 as Delray's Thriftway with the rest of the strip mall, then 20 years later became a Clemens which in turn was sold to SuperFresh in 2006. SuperFresh closed in 2015, with the current tenant opening a few years after that. By the way, we are directly across the river from Lambertville, NJ, where we saw the former ACME . That store is a little over a mile east over the border. Up next we're headed around 7 miles north along the Delaware River for tomorrow's snapshot, over on The Independent Edition !

(Unfortunately, I have yet to visit the Newtown and Yardley locations. The other locations we've seen are Blue Bell , Princeton , West Windsor , and Doylestown .) This is also the newest McCaffrey's until Gladwyne opens, having only opened in 2020. It also uses a decor package we haven't really seen in any other location, although it's not unlike what we saw in Doylestown. The roughly 29,000 square foot store opened in a former Staples that was itself part of a former department store. There was also an earlier grocery anchor in this mall, which we'll see tomorrow. Inside, the store has the same modern industrial-rustic aesthetic that we saw in the Rastelli Market Fresh in Evesham . As we'll see, this store has approximately the same decor package.
