CTown Supermarkets
Opening: TBA
Welcome to Canarsie! The southeastern Brooklyn neighborhood abuts the Jamaica Bay at the southern tip, but here on the northern end, Flatlands Avenue is the main thoroughfare. A CTown Supermarket has long been located at Flatlands and East 80th Street, but that store was switched to Bravo -- a different brand within the same cooperative, Krasdale Foods -- as a store one block over at East 79th Street is preparing to open as a CTown. The former Rite Aid that CTown is moving into is just 11,000 square feet, but their existing location is even smaller at just 5300 square feet. Because of the brand change, I think it's likely the existing location will continue operating even after the new CTown opens. There are a few small grocers along Flatlands, including two at Flatlands and 81st, along with multiple supermarkets just west on Ralph Avenue (a Key Food, a Foodtown, and a Food Way, to be exact.) The Key Food is currently undergoing a renovation and I'll post an update on that soon. For now, here's the other posts for today:
