I'm told that the transition to Foodtown
will be completed by February
and include a lower pricing structure for items.
According to this September 18 Real Estate Weekly article:
... As part of that effort to stay ahead of the competition, Catsimatidis revealed he is switching some of his Gristedes stores to the D’Agostino brand — and vice versa.Stay tuned for more info on the Roosevelt Island Foodtown Supermarket coming soon.
In addition, the company may decide to open more Foodtown supermarkets, a brand Catsimatidis doesn’t own but does license in suburban areas....
... Catsimatidis said, “It’s getting tougher and tougher to do business and the community should support their local supermarkets, because if there’s no supermarkets at all, it’ll get much worse.”
