Update: Fairway Market Coming To Pelham Manor

May

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.”
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.

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.
