The Market Report

Price Chopper Opened: ca. 2010 Previous Tenants:  none Location:  142 NY-94, Warwick, NY Photographed:  December 15, 2020 Today is a special double post! Why? Because I said so. So tomorrow starts our next group of stores, and to finish off this one, we have a look at this Price Chopper and the ShopRite across the street today! This store is rather new, having opened around 2010 in a new-build building very close to an existing ShopRite, so Price Chopper is the intruder here. And it's their second-closest store to New Jersey: the Matamoras location, which is now a Market 32, is 6/10 of a mile from the New Jersey border, while this one is 1.6 miles. There are, of course, no Price Choppers or Market 32s in New Jersey. And because this one is pretty new and so close to an established ShopRite, it seemed to be a really well-run store, not unlike East Stroudsburg -- which, if anyone's counting, is three miles to New Jersey. We enter to the grand aisle, with the bagel/donut...

ShopRite of Warwick Owner: SRS Opened:  1993 Previous Tenants:  none Cooperative:  Wakefern Food Corp. Location:  153 NY-94, Warwick, NY Photographed:  December 15, 2020 It's time for our final Sullivan/Orange County area store! The ShopRite of Warwick was built in 1993, then expanded to its present 70,000 square feet in 2015. We're just about a mile and a half north of the New Jersey border here, so this is definitely ShopRite territory -- but there's a Price Chopper just across the street, too. The store was pretty extensively remodeled when it was expanded. Today, the grand aisle is on the left side of the store -- mostly in the expansion area -- with prepared foods and deli on the left side wall, then bakery and seafood at the back of the grand aisle. Cheese is in an island between them and produce. Meat lines the rest of the back wall, with dairy/frozen, HABA, and beer on the right side of the store. There's no pharmacy here, and I don't know if there pr...

Adams Fairacre Farms Owner: Patrick and Steven Adams Opened:  1998 Cooperative:  none Location:  1240 NY-300, Newburgh, NY Photographed:  November 22, 2023 We're here in Newburgh, New York on the Hudson River, or about 18 miles east of Middletown , for a look at the large gourmet supermarket/produce market/nursery spanning just under 80,000 square feet outside of town. The chain grew from its original farmstand roots to its present chain of five large specialty grocers. See that article for an extensive look at the chain. The store has two main entrances, one in the front to the main supermarket area, and one on the side that goes to the garden center area. The pictures above and below are the garden center entrance, and the first picture is the supermarket entrance. We're going to tour the store via the garden center, which is on the left side of the store! There are two greenhouse areas, one in the front left corner and one in the back left corner. Between them i...
