Key Food is coming to downtown Hartsdale.
The announcement was made by Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner who said the new grocery store should open sometime in winter as it doesn’t need zoning or planning board approval — only building permits.
“After Rite Aid closed many residents had contacted town officials expressing the desire that a quality food market be encouraged to take over the space,” he said. “Many older residents live in the apartments nearby, and their quality of life will improve.”
Feiner was quick to thank landlord Louis Weisman “for his responsiveness to the community,” Marty Deitch, senior vice president of Aries Deitch and Endelson, Inc, a commercial realtor, Steve Goldberg, a resident of E. Hartsdale Ave, and the Greenburgh Chamber of Commerce for “working hard to help existing businesses and new businesses succeed.”
“East Hartsdale Ave is coming back,” he said. “Earlier this summer we repaved the business district. And recently a new farmers market opened on Saturday mornings.
“Plus, some new businesses are planning to open soon.”
Key Food joins Peruvian grocer Inkattera Market, which opened at 14-16 N. Central Ave. in May, with more than 300 products, including fresh and frozen foods, cookies, candies, spices, Peruvian drinks, sodas and more.
