North Shore Farms Hopes to Open by Early Spring

The building housed Rite Aid until 2002, but this is the first business to pass the approval process.

North Shore Farms officials are hoping to open the store's doors in North Bellmore in early spring, a company spokesman told Patch.

Construction has been in progress since last month on the location, which sits at the intersection of Pea Pond Road and Jerusalem Avenue. 

The building housed Rite Aid until 2002, but Rite Aid maintained the lease until 2011. While many clients explored the property, including Western Beef, this is the first client to pass the approval process.

North Shore Farms will be doing minimal work on the exterior of the building, which includes eliminating the area that was used for a drive thru for Rite Aid. That will be replaced by two additional parking spaces, increasing the total number to 86.
