From my colleague, Ernie Garcia:
PELHAM MANOR ‹ The specialty foods supermarket Fairway will open a branch at a Boston Post Road shopping in 2009. Howie Glickberg, owner of Fairway, said this morning that he expects to open in a 75,000-square-foot location formerly occupied by K-Mart in mid- to late-2009.
“That whole area is under-served by food markets,†said Glickberg, adding hat he has already signed a lease for the property. “I like the location and it’s right off the Hutch and off the New England Thruway.â€
The Pelham Plaza shopping center at 847 Pelham Parkway closed in January and t is currently undergoing a multimillion-dollar environmental remediation to remove contamination from a former power plant at the site.
The Pelham Manor store will be the company’s sixth store and it currently operates four supermarkets. Fairway will open a supermarket in Paramus, N.J. in about six months.
Glickberg, an Irvington resident, said his company is looking for other locations in Westchester County, but he has no definite plans.
How many of you will shop there? How many of you drive to Manhattan to shop at the Harlem one now?

YAHOO!!! Finally a gourmet food shop in Westchester. It will save me from driving to 135th St once a month.
We’re looking to talk to foodies who are excited by this news. Email Ernie Garcia at elgarcia@lohud.com or give him a ring at 914-696-8290.
Thanks,

Best. Store. Ever.
This is great news but for those of us in Northern Westchester, it’s still a schlep. It’s closer to The Bronx than almost anything in Westchester.
It’s bad enough that Trader Joe’s doesn’t think that anything north of Hartsdale is worthy of their presence (although at least they are in Danbury, CT, which is closer to me than the new Fairway will be).
That said, I’ll definitely stop there on my way to visit relatives in Queens, and it will save me a drive out to Plainview on Long Island, where I go when I am out there.
BTW, the Paramus location will be at the former “Fashion Center”, which is right off the GSP and not too bad to get to from Rockland.
Love it, Love it, Love it. I don’t get there often but when i do, i go to Plainview, on trips to Long Island. I live in Pelham and am very excited about it coming here. I am familiar with former owners and employess and have enjoyed both the restaurant on Broadway and 72nd, as welll as the cafeteria style setting in Plainview. I am always hungry when i go food shopping, now i will be able to do both. Yeah!!
I will also try to possibly get a part-time or full time job there as well. I’d love to know details of how to apply.
When??? This has been circulating for a period of time and I am anxious to get some organic vegies in the neighborhood. Super anxious! So tired of driving to Manhattan, through so much traffic, folks with road rage, exhaust, stressful sights and sounds. I am definitely gonna spend some money in Fairway.
i word like 2 know how can u apply for the up coming store
oops would like 2 know lol…*
I live in White Plains and shop at the Fairway on 125th St. It’s an easy drive…easy on…easy off. I am looking forward to the opening of Fairway in Pelham and will shop there regularly. I love the store…lots of great items….great meats, veggies and fruit. I would not do my over-all shopping there but will buy what we eat. Paper and other products are from Sam’s or Costco.
I also live in White Plains. The Fairway on 125th Street in Manhattan (west of Harlem) is great, but if one needs to fill the tank with gas, and is willing to shop on a Sunday, the trip to the Fairway in Paramus is worth it – the difference in the cost of gasoline alone will neutralize or at least ameliorate the tolls, and the trip on 287 and the GSP is fairly quick and easy.
Trader Joe’s has better prices on boxed broth, and there are a few other items are a little pricier at Fairway, but there is so much there that is extremely well-priced. I can’t find prime grade flank steak anywhere else less than $12.99/lb, here it’s $8.99 a pound. And prime only needs a little salt and pepper, whereas choice needs a marinade. Yesterday, we bought a nice prime sirloin steak there at $5.99/pound. Yum-O!
The fresh vegetable/fruit selection is amazing!
And yesterday, at checkout, I grabbed a couple of sixpacks of Canfield’s Diet Chocolate Fudge soda – I have not seen this in Westchester for a few years now.
