Civic President Announces Possible Organic Supermarket in Former Rite Aid

Great news, now make it happen. I'd love to hear the rationale of the one person that has so far voted against this. Yeah lets leave it empty, or better yet make it into another strip mall that can be half empty and half occupied by another nail salon, pizza place, and bagel shop. This could bring people from out of the community into NB, which will hopefully lead to more upscale retail shopping on Jeruselum rather than all those junky looking industrial businesses (seriously is it too much to ask that they stop parking vehicles all over the place and get out there with a broom and some paint to clean these places up). Of course I'm sure we'll be hearing complaints from short-sighted people with too much time on their hands, traffic oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I agree with previous comment. I'd be surprised f this didn't happen- what could possibly be wrong with this establishment there? This would be great for the area and finally have something in that big lot that's been vacant for so long!

We prefer Iavarone Bros in my household.....My family's been shopping there since they opened; They make us feel like family....no need for another store 1 mile down the road. Plus North shore farms carries alot of below grade/ungraded meat....you could be eating HORSE MEAT for all you know! I know from a 1st hand experience that I'll never go back to them

i think this is a terrible idea. there is no need for this type of establishment. There are arleady plenty of fine food stores within the neighborhood that service the community and who have a strong tie to the community and truly cares about the people. North Shore Farms is expanding too fast and the bubble is sure to burst and/or quality if serivce and product will decline. WE DONT NEED IT!

Ditto to Dani and John Danoto
NO NORTH SHORE FARMS!!!!! my family loves Iavrone Bros!

I too agree with Dani and John Danoto. My family has been shopping at Iavarone Bros. since they opened, and will continue to shop there! Their quality of food and service is what separates them from the rest. No need for North Shore Farms to be right down the block! I vote NO to North Shore Farms!

There is nothing special about north shore farms. I would much rather shop at Iavarone Bros. Their prepared foods are delicious and they have the highest quality meats. And the produce is so fresh! Their friendly staff always makes you feel like family. I love it there! Wouldn't shop anywhere else.

I prefer Trader Joe's over North Shore Farms since Iavarone Brothers is only a mile away. In other words, Iavarone Brothers seems similar to North Shore Farms where Trader Joe's is quite different. But of course it's not up to me!
