Remember the hybrid born when the Gristede's supermarket chain took over little Jefferson Market two years ago. Now tipster John DeFore sends the following photos showing the place has shuttered:
Jefferson Market was a landmark in the Village, opened in 1929. What will become of it now? "We're considering possibly reopening it as a Gristedes," said Catsimatidis to Fork in the Road.

Reopening it as a Gristede's would be a shame. They'd need to work hard to get that extra-filthy, mismatched, and cracked linoleum look, plus import a lot of cheap 1960s-style fluorescent lights. Probably not worth the effort to create that highly distressed Gristede's look.

ReplyDeleteThis is a good quote, but Nora Ephrom and here set is a bit ridiculous. You can get through life here without paying for problems to go away, its just alot of hassle. And in recent times, you get less and less for the hassle.
