Former Supermarket of the Month!

February's Former Supermarket of the Month is this store in Livingston, NJ. It was built as a Grand Union but bought by Pathmark in the 2001 bankruptcy. Pathmark closed in 2010 and The Fresh Market opened up in the space in 2014 (?). It closed in 2017. Other supermarket operators have not been interested in the space because of its out-of-the-way location and the fact that no fewer than three different major chains closed here.

The Fresh Market took up a roughly 25,000-square-foot space in the right half of the former Pathmark. This entire strip, despite the recent renovations, has had difficulty in finding and keeping tenants. Although one supermarket was rumored to be considering the space, there has been no action on that.
