Grocery retail cooperative Allegiance Retail Services announced that it plans to open a 49,000 square foot Pathmark supermarket - at the site of a former Pathmark store in Brooklyn, NY - later this month or next. The New Jersey-based cooperative purchased the intellectual property of the Pathmark name and associated marks last year.
Pathmark was a mainstay in the metro New York market for decades until parent company A&P filed for bankruptcy in 2015.
The new store's owner is PSK Supermarkets, which operates about a dozen stores in the New York market, mostly under the Foodtown banner.

Wegmans plans openings for two North Jersey stores
Wegmans announced that new stores in Hanover, NJ and Montvale, NJ will open this year on July 23 and September 24, respectively. Each store will feature a Burger Bar, which is Wegmans' in-store restaurant counter. They will also have wine, beer and spirits shops operated by a third-party.
The stores are the company's closest locations to New York City so far. A Rochester, NY newspaper reported that stores may be coming in 2018 to Westchester County and Brooklyn.

Whole Foods opening in big and small towns alike
Last month Whole Foods opened a store in Brooklyn, NY (population 2.6 million) and a store in Lincoln, Nebraska (population 260,000). This strategy - opening in large metro areas as well as small ones - is no coincidence, and Whole Foods says that nearly one-third of its new stores will open in small cities like Lincoln.
When Whole Foods went public with its intention to open stores in what The New York Times described as "places where it was assumed that consumers have never heard of kale and wouldn't dream of spending $6 for a pound of humanely raised pork," investors scoffed, traditional supermarkets snickered and analysts expressed doubts.
Fast forward a couple years, and analysts say the strategy appears to be working (just look at the stock price!)
"Farmers' markets were nonexistent 10 years ago in most places, and no one was talking about local food," said Whole Foods Co-CEO Walter Robb. "There is a whole new revolution going on around food now that isn't limited to the coast. Consumers know more about food, where it comes from, what's in it and the connection between diet and health."
Fast forward again to dinner at my house tonight, where I will disappoint my wife by telling here there's no chance Whole Foods is coming to Harleysville (population 10,000).
