Mi Tierra Supermarket Owner: unknown Opened:  2017 Cooperative:  America's Food Basket Location:  304 E Diamond Ave, Hazleton, PA Photographed:  December 22, 2018 Welcome back and I hope you had a great weekend! Today we're going to be taking a look at one of the smaller supermarkets around Hazleton, of which there are several. Among many others are the Associate's Grocery & Meat Market and the Penn City Supermarket . This Mi Tierra, which appears to be loosely related to the stores in Queens , was previously the M&D Supermarket and opened in 2017 affiliated with Krasdale Foods, like the Queens stores. In 2022 or so, the store left Krasdale and joined America's Food Basket, along with the Hazleton Food Supermarket . There's a small parking lot for the store one door down from it, and the store is actually larger than it looks at a fairly hefty 8500 square feet. Obviously that's not gigantic, but it's bigger than the little convenience store it look...

Mi Tierra Supermarket Owner:  Pedro Diaz Opened:  2011 Cooperative:  Krasdale Location:  32-66 97th St, Jackson Heights, NY Photographed:  July 2018 & December 2018 Our second Mi Tierra Supermarket! (See the first here .) There are two more in Queens, one on Roosevelt Ave here in Jackson Heights and one east on 37th Ave in Corona, along with another in Hazleton, PA. My photos come from two separate occasions on which I was driving by this store (no, I was not actually driving the car on either occasion). This one is also located on Northern Blvd, but for whatever reason, its street address is on 97th St (the cross street). Unlike the other one, this was a Strauss Auto, not another supermarket, before Mi Tierra. It's possible, though, that the building housed a supermarket before Strauss Auto.

Mi Tierra Supermarket Owner:  Pedro Diaz Opened:  ca. 2010 Cooperative:  Krasdale Location:  81-02 Northern Blvd, Jackson Heights, NY Photographed:  December 2018 Make sure you saw our tour of the Food Bazaar over on The Market Report yesterday! We're heading east on Northern Blvd (away from Manhattan, towards Long Island, for anyone who's not familiar with the area). Today's post is a pretty quick look at a former Met Food that was extensively renovated around 2010 to a really beautiful store. I hope to get interior pictures one of these days.
