Obligatory Roselle SuperFresh update. Unfortuntely, it's not all that exciting, but there has been work done. Nearly all of the interior has been cleaned out, and it does look like the space is in a condition that could be used to build out a new supermarket... but it's hard to tell. Compare this to the last update.

The interior is looking emptier but cleaner, and more lights are on. I'm interested to see where this goes.

Notice the very bright lights on over what used to be the grocery aisles. We'll see how much the space is renovation (cosmetically) before the store reopens -- that is, assuming it will in fact reopen. It's around two and a half years since the store closed.

Just for a few glances inside from the other doors and windows. It's not an easy space to see inside from outside, because of the building's setup and because of the general lack of windows on the outside.

Certainly looks like, with a good deep cleaning, this space could easily be reopened as a supermarket with not too much work.

And of course the deli room remains mostly empty...

I wonder if they would at all consider moving the deli/bakery departments back into the main building, or if they'll open it back up out here. Anyway, you know I'll be back soon enough in the hopes that there's actual reopening progress someday! In the meantime, there's another SuperFresh coming soon, plus a few other posts today...
