The ever-popular Fairway supermarket will be opening a new store soon.
Don't worry Morton Williams, they're not moving into the Kingsbridge Armory, but just north of the Bronx in Pelham Manor instead.
Fairway is in the process of setting up shop at Post Road Plaza, which is located on Boston Road at Pelham Parkway/Route 70, right by the Hutch. That means we'll have a new grocery store option about as close as you can get to the Bronx without actually being in the Bronx. This is great news for Bronxites with cars, as well as those in the Co-Op City and Pelham Bay areas.
I've never actually shopped in a Fairway supermarket, but I've heard great things about them. Supposedly their selection with hard-to-get specialty items is quite impressive, which unfortunately means their prices aren't super cheap. I'd be willing to pay a little more for quality items if the shopping experience was really pleasant (i.e., wide aisles free of piles of stock boxes, quick and efficient checkout, wide selection of products).
All the I found online said the store is opening in 2009, but I seriously doubt that because we only have 3 weeks left in the year. In any case, we are excited to hear of quality grocery store option opening nearby.

The ever-popular Fairway supermarket is celebrating the grand opening of its new Pelham Manor location today at 9am. We first reported that Fairway was opening a store as close to the Bronx as you can actually get without being IN the Bronx back in December while the Armory supermarket war was waging. It's too bad we can't have such a great amenity within the borders of our borough, but it will be nice to have the opportunity to poach another one of Westchester's shopping options...
