TOUR: CTown Supermarkets - Grasmere, Staten Island, NY

This 6300 square foot store opened in 2014 , soon after the Port Richmond CTown burned down.

The entrance and exit are on the far left side of the store, with deli and produce lining the left side. Meats run along the back wall of the store, which then becomes the first grocery aisle (the aisles run parallel to the storefront). Frozen lines the right side wall, with dairy on the front wall to the right of the checkouts. An overview of the produce department. Deli is on the side wall near the entrance.

Coming Soon!

Our next stop after leaving Brooklyn is Staten Island! Now we have been to Staten Island before, seeing a Key Food Marketplace , a Superfresh that has since closed, and a Met Foodmarket . But, we all know... Ahem. Anyway, we're going to tour EIGHT new supermarkets, see a NEW Superfresh, and RETURN to that Met Foodmarket for a full interior tour! Uh... maybe no one else is as excited about that as I am. But anyway, stay tuned for two weeks of Staten Island.
