The Market Report

Food Bazaar Supermarket Opened: 2024 Owner: Spencer An Previous Tenants: Pathmark (1970-2015) > Stop & Shop (2015-2024) Cooperative: none Location:  2965 Cropsey Ave, Brooklyn, NY Photographed: July 15, 2026 It's time to return (yes, again, but hopefully for the last time for a while) to the Cropsey Avenue Food Bazaar. Since Food Bazaar acquired this store from Stop & Shop in September 2024, they've slowly but surely redone it from floor to ceiling. You can get a sense of just how extensive the changes are by comparing how Stop & Shop looked shortly before it closed to the pictures in this post, though I've been posting all throughout the renovation process. Now, the store is officially done and has held its grand opening while also extending its hours to 24/7. Okay, so generally when Food Bazaar has done grand openings recently, they hand out a handy little diagram of the layout. I didn't see any when I visited this store, so we make do with my ef...

Stop & Shop Opened: 2015 Owner: Ahold Delhaize Previous Tenants: Pathmark Cooperative: none Location: 407 Valley Rd, South Orange, NJ Photographed: June 24, 2026 Welcome back to the South Orange Stop & Shop! It's completed a minor remodel but is looking good these days, especially with a fresh coat of paint outside. You can see the store prior to the remodel (and during) here . This was a pretty small update, with just some new paint and decor along with a reset of the grocery aisles. I'm not entirely certain, but it doesn't look like most of the fixtures were replaced, just repainted. The flooring remains from Pathmark, as does the layout with some grocery aisles to the left of produce and the rest to the right. One odd change during the remodel was moving health and beauty items out of these aisles next to the pharmacy to the complete opposite side of the store, near pharmacy. Now, these aisles next to pharmacy are groceries, and all the nonfoods are on the ...

Pathmark Daily Opened: May 1, 2026 Owner: Mike Said Previous Tenants: Foodtown (2023-2026) Cooperative: Allegiance Retail Location: 625 N Merrick Ave, East Meadow, NY Photographed:  December 5, 2025 (Foodtown) and May 7, 2026 Pathmark! Any longtime tri-state area residents will remember that name, and now it's returned to Long Island (once a stronghold of the chain) with a small-format Pathmark Daily location in East Meadow. Wait, how did Pathmark come back from the dead? And wasn't there already a Pathmark location? And what the heck is a Pathmark Daily? Let's take a closer look. In A&P's bankruptcy , Allegiance Retail -- the cooperative behind Foodtown -- bought the rights to the Pathmark, Green Way, and Food Basics brands. They started using Green Way as a natural brand just as A&P had, but also started using it as a store name . Food Basics briefly appeared on a store in Pennsylvania, but that closed shortly after opening. And in 2019, a Pathmark owned ...
