The Fresh Market, a Greensboro, North Carolina-based supermarket chain with more than 100 stores in 21 states, is the grocery store that has an arrangement in place with a Southampton Village family and hopes to set up shop in the village should a proposed local law allowing the development be approved by the Village Board in early 2012.
Bob Silver, a development representative at RS Silver Enterprises in Bedford, Westchester County, confirmed the identity of the market on Tuesday. Mr. Silver is the broker for the Glennon family, who owns a 68,950-square-foot lot in the village’s eastern corner that inspired the proposed law.

Residents along from Cobb road in Watermill, Wickapogue Rd., Downers Path, and, of course, Flying Point Rd. may all be impacted by greater traffic flow to that store. More important, is how will the increased ...more traffic on Hampton Rd. impact the flow of emergency vehicles from the fire station down the road and ambulances heading West to the hospital. There is also going to be a big mess at that turn/light on 27 with people trying to get to the store. Seems like substantial investments will need to be made to accommodate the traffic flow at that corner. Who's going to pay for that?
The situation in Southampton Village is currently a disgrace when it comes to a grocery shopping experience.
Stop 'n' Shop however...
small...it's called bracketing. Avanti is no man's land in Watermill and not easily seen for the road...not to mention even with a traffic light you have to make a concerted effort to want to go there.....there is no "Oh yeah lets stop here" pulling off the highway easily. To those who think Avanti doesn't meet their standards it is not a market that you would go to to purchase you main groceries and relies heavily on local repeat business. Unfortunately they have missed the boat.....but in their defense ...if it was such a great location why did
Citarella's leave??? Why....because they weren't making enough money and that is what it is all about....rumors have it that Citarella's wants to leave East Hampton...rent to HIGH. Gee what a surprise. By the way why do so many people rave about a place that makes a lot of the food in NYC kitchen facilities and trucks it out here...even some the fried foods??? Anyway...back to the Glennon property....it is a difficult situation...but a Large 10,000 to 20,00 sq. ft building and the traffic AT THAT INTERSECTION...WOW...no one will ever be able to get through...what a nightmare. 27 it is backed up for hours on the weekends and that means Hampton Road and Flying Point road will have to absorb the traffic. Changing the zoning to accommodate a store that size at that location would not guarantee that the store would stay forever...if the store doesn't make the profit they want they could leave when their lease if up and then we are left with a Bigger empty building....I truly think there are better locations for a new supermarket.
ROLMAO!
"The rent's TOO D**N HIGH!"
the side roads.....
Is this zoning change proposal a head-fake?
___________________________________
"The proposed legislation would apply to all village lots zoned as highway business with street frontage on County Road 39 or 39A or Flying Point Road, with a lot area of at least 60,000 square feet, and the supermarket would be limited in size to 10,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet. Any application for ...more a supermarket would need to win Village Board approval."

Check out the zoning map available here (former Trustee Paul Robinson's site BTW -- hmmm?):
http://www.southamptonvillagerealestate.com/about-southampton/zoning-historic-district/
1. Is there any Highway Business land available in the large triangle just north of Hillcrest Ave. (which appears to include McDonalds, SuffCoNatBank and the Hamptons Center for Rehabilitation etc.)?
2. How about north of Buzz Chew Chevy dealership and south of the LIRR tracks?
3. East of 7-11 there is a triangle which appears to be zoned HB.
Who owns these lands, among other possible parcels?
Does the proposed change of zone apply to these and other parcels?
The most I could come up with was a $5.99 lb. special on Tuesdays for rib roast, most likely $8.99 lb. regular price.
32 oz. of crabcakes for only $85! ($2.66 per oz.) 100 shrimp, for ONLY $100! ($1 per shrimp) 45 scallops, for $135 ($3 a scallop). What a STEAL! Well, on the part of the store, that is.
There is NO WAY IN H**L that this store will force Waldbaum's to drop, or price more competitively. They simply ARE NOT ...more competition for them. Totally different ball game.
Will this large triangle benefit from the change of zone, and if so, who owns each parcel within it?
Could the Glennon property be just the tip of this Titanic iceberg?
Hmmmmm?
When I went into The Villages store, The Fresh Market, and and saw Tate's Cookies, I almost cheered out loud. I grabbed two bags and we ate one in the car before we got home.
Unfortunately the village arb has long ignored all those guide lines to the great dismay of many residents. One of the most egregious (my opinion) is the one on North Main Street between Jennings Ave. and Layton Ave. After the 2nd WW a local boy came home from the war and was looking for property to buy for his building business. Low and behold, there was a beautiful old, circa early 1800's, captains house sitting empty ...more for years. The local owner had gone to college and moved away; the family was ready to sell. So they tore down the beautiful house and set in place the one story brick establishment you see to day. The house torn down was very similar to the house only 2 doors south that has been wonderfully restored by people 'from away'. So you have a business establishment in a residential neighborhood. Spot zoning.
After WW II, Southampton Village was a sleepy little place.
-- no zoning
-- no ARB
-- thus, no spot zoning
And now, there appears to be plenty of anger about a veteran who came home and made good? summertime, are you related in any way to the family who owned the previous captains house? in the late 1940's
Please clarify.
PS -- And what about the 7-11 which was built opposite Prospect Street when there WAS zoning? Fortunately it moved ...more on.
What a mistake!!!
And Publix would be very unlikely to open up in NY because it's difficult to have a such a large gap in your supply chain of stores. Companies like grocery stores generally expand outward in a linear fashion so their infastructure (like trucks) grow with it. It's highly unlikely that it would make sense cost wise, which is a shame becuase Publix is one nice grocery ...more store
