FoodWay Market Owner:  Pat Conte, Jr Opened:  2020 Cooperative:  Key Food Stores Co-Operative Location:  2149 Ralph Ave, Georgetown, Brooklyn, NY Photographed:  August 2020 Following Fairway Market's bankruptcy in early 2020, the stores were divided among Village Super Market (4 locations in Manhattan + 1 in Pelham Manor), Food Bazaar (1 each Brooklyn , Queens, and Long Island), Amazon (2 in New Jersey), and Seven Seas (this one). Seven Seas also bid on the Red Hook and Douglaston locations, which Food Bazaar won. Seven Seas also owns Key Food-branded stores along with Food Emporium locations in Manhattan purchased from A&P (see here , here , and here ). This 38,000 square foot store is the largest in Georgetown (also see Key Food and Foodtown ) and, being a former Fairway, has a very different feeling inside featuring many more organic and gourmet items and higher-end services. The Fairway only opened in 2017 , taking over a former...

Wholesome 360 Owner:  unknown Opened: May-July 2019 Cooperative:  none Location:  1351 Nostrand Ave, Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY Photographed:  May 2019 This is an exclusive for The Independent Edition! Wholesome 360 had such a short life that very few pictures of it in business exist on the internet. It was open only from May to July 2019. More recently, a new market called Gourmet Garden Market has opened in the space. (Its corporate entity was formed in July 2019, but didn't open until a while after that.) The store, which is located directly across the street from a CTown Supermarket , also featured a hot food bar and coffee shop with a seating area. Next to that, it offered several aisles of gourmet and organic/natural grocery items, along with produce and dairy. Empty cases at the back of the store looked to be preparing for a meat department that never opened. The store, although it was very small, was still very nice. You could hear...

Dream Farm Fruit & Vegetable Owner:  Sang Soo Yu Opened:  2007 Cooperative:  none Location:  1424 Nostrand Ave, Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY Photographed:  May 2019 The Meat Place is at the southeastern corner of Nostrand Avenue and Martense Street, with Dream Farm at the southwestern corner. By the way, this is finally the last greengrocer shop we're going to see in Flatbush -- and for quite  a while anywhere. Come back tomorrow for our next store on Nostrand Avenue!

The Meat Place  Owner:  Peter Sills Opened:  2009 Cooperative:  Krasdale Location:  1423 Nostrand Ave, Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY Photographed:  May 2019 Today's snapshot is the second of the two Meat Place locations, with the first being about three quarters of a mile south on Nostrand Ave. This location opened in 2009, nine years after the first. And it also appears that this one is under a different owner, Peter Sills instead of Anthony Marchese, however that could also just be an error in the listing. This location is two doors north of JK Joe Farm , which you can see with the green awning in the above picture.
