The super Stop & Shop supermarket behind the Tarrytown Sheraton will open towards the end of this coming week. This is exciting news--the 67,500 foot supermarket will provide residents of the Tarrytowns, Irvington, unincorporated Greenburgh and our region with new shopping options.

Unlike many development application projects that experience significant opposition from the community - this supermarket had an enthusiastic group of immediate residents behind it from day one. I received many calls and e mails from residents expressing a desire for a quality new supermarket.

The existing Stop & Shop store in the Bridge Plaza Shopping Center will soon be replaced by a CVS/pharmacy store with an expanded convenience food department. The CVS pharmacy on Broadway in Tarrytown will stay open.

H MART WILL OPEN SOON-- H Mart is also close to opening. The supermarket will replace the vacant Pathmark on Central Ave.

...and the Town Board has started to review plans for an assisted living facility near the new super Stop & Shop.
