Citarella is drooling for sure.
Maybe too big for them though. Schmidts would be done if that happened. Probably 3-5 other deli / seafood shops too
A supermarket would be better where the larger auto dealerships are. Also kind of a small surface area for a meaningfull store that would give consumers and residents a true alternative as ...more the King Kullens do or Stop and Shop. Its not really an alternative put somewhat insures Waldbaum's predominance.
Anyway who wants to shop in a market where you can't get plastic bags.
Yeah, "entitlement".
That's what I thought...
maybe we could all drive our smart cars down to the well to get some water for ...more dinner. give me a break
got to be a better location for a supermarket.
The Trader Joe's in Lake Grove was originally pretty small, but everyone loved it. Now they're in a bigger building, but the original wasn't big at all.
