Another post for today is a quick look at the Food Fair Fresh Market in Newark. We toured the store right after it switched from Fine Fare in 2017, but the exterior signage had remained just banners where Fine Fare used to have their signage. Around 2019 or early 2020, the awning and the rest of the building was finally painted and a real Food Fair sign was installed. Inside, there really haven't been any renovations and very few changes at all, although the aisle markers were replaced with what seem to be hand-written signs. Not great, and I have to wonder why this store has gotten so little while their Bronx locations have gotten major upgrades (such as the Castle Hill location, which is now a Key Food under the same ownership; the 163rd St location has unfortunately not appeared on the blog yet but it's also gotten major renovations; and the Jerome Avenue location recently opened).
The outside does look quite a bit sharper than it did, though. We have lots more to see today, so check out the full list here!
