The Market Report

Original Tenant:  unknown Address:  125 New Main Street, Getty Square, Yonkers, NY Opened:  unknown Closed:  unknown Later Tenants:  Met Foodmarkets > Compare Foods Supermarket Photographed:  March 2019 The Shop Fair , just four doors down from this former supermarket, did unfortunately put this store out of business. It was previously a Met Foodmarket that was owned by Hyun Soo Kim, later being taken over in 2013 by Sunni Hsuan Wang and converted to Compare Foods . The 3600 square foot store unfortunately didn't stand a chance against the 22,000 square foot Shop Fair. You can see how close they were here . Half of a former Met sign is still visible on the back of the store. I've messed with the lighting in the above photo to show increased contrast and if you look very carefully, the Met lettering is still visible. While Shop Fair may have put this store out of business, there's one other store on the block that hasn't close...

Across Prospect Street from yesterday's Juan Supermarket is the ShopRite at 25-43 Prospect Street in downtown Yonkers. In 2013, this 40,000-square-foot urban store closed temporarily for a renovation to the current very attractive decor package . Like most Westchester ShopRites, this store is owned by SRS (ShopRite Supermarkets, Inc., or the corporately-owned branch of Wakefern Food. It's on the ground floor of the Greenway Plaza. Our next stop will be about three blocks east on New Main Street! Photographed March 2019

This group of stores coming up next is actually areas we've seen before. For one, we've extensively covered the northwestern Bronx , though we'll be seeing Spuyten Duyvil, which is kind of northwest of Marble Hill (see here ); and Riverdale to the northwest of the store we've already seen . Then we're crossing over into Yonkers, which we've seen previously ( if only briefly! ), for some more extensive coverage. Stay tuned as we start with Grocery Archaeology tomorrow!
