It's dingy, it's grimey, it's disgusting. They put barely any effort into getting this 'Why? Just why? Why even bother? Because you got a good deal on a closed supermarket? on Yelp summed up the feelings about the Landing location pretty well towards the end:

I originally thought that the group at least had some promise for the future, but after a short yet painful decline, both stores went out of business, Landing in February 2017 and Jefferson in May 2017. So when the store opened as a cleaner (at the beginning) version of Pathmark, virtually everyone was disappointed. This outfit suffered from what is known in marketing and psychology as the expectancy violations theory, which basically says that when people are expecting one thing and get another, they will be disappointed. He also claimed both locations' pharmacies would reopen shortly after the stores themselves did.which also didn't happen.įresh Emporium promoted itself online (on their Facebook account) prior to the opening as an upscale, natural and gourmet food market.

Medina claimed he would open the supermarkets 'three to four weeks' after the purchase but in reality opened about two months later. Surprisingly, independent investor Neftali Medina of the Bronx bid on two former Pathmarks, this new-build location in Jefferson, NJ, built in the 1990s (for $1.45 million), and a former Grand Union in Landing, NJ. While the urban and suburban A&P locations often were the subjects of intense competition and bidding from outfits looking to purchase them, those farther out from the immediate NYC or Philadelphia areas more likely quietly closed without purchase.
