Green Way Markets Owner: Adam Shapiro Opened: October 2021 Cooperative: Allegiance Retail Services Location: 159 Maplewood Ave, Maplewood, NJ Photographed: October 2021 Contributor: Joe Kings Food Markets closed its downtown Maplewood location in late November 2020 as it was not included in the sale of the chain to ACME Markets. Green Way Markets signed a lease on August 3, 2021 to take over the space and in a crazy fast timeline, the store opened on October 23. We saw it in progress back in August also. While I haven't been back just yet, unfortunately, our contributor Joe visited the store on October 24 to get the full look at the store for us! Simple exterior updates with new paint and awnings look very good, though we can tell it's still the same basic building. There are some nice new graphics outside though... And we see what may be new or refurbished shopping carts that say simply "thank you"... Let's head inside! Make sure you check out the Kings...
