Bryn Mawr Market IGA Owner:  Al Cifutelli Opened:  2004 Cooperative:  IGA Location:  146 Lockwood Ave, Bryn Mawr, Yonkers, NY Photographed:  March 2020 The small neighborhood of Bryn Mawr in Yonkers is sandwiched between the Saw Mill River Pkwy on the west and INT-87 on the east. It has one supermarket in that section, which is this Bryn Mawr IGA. The 7100 square foot store appears to have been created from several smaller storefronts, including a 3900 square foot one that was likely the original supermarket. Inside, the store has a distinctive old-fashioned look about it. That's balanced somewhat by the Walmart decor visible here, for the produce department. As we can see, the decor has been retrofitted somewhat. The picture on the sign appears to be taped on, while the aisle markers have some some older category markers added on. Dairy and meat line the back wall, with frozen in the second-to-last aisle and deli in the last aisle. ...

This group of stores coming up next is actually areas we've seen before. For one, we've extensively covered the  northwestern Bronx , though we'll be seeing Spuyten Duyvil, which is kind of northwest of Marble Hill (see  here ); and Riverdale to the northwest of the  store we've already seen . Then we're crossing over into Yonkers, which we've seen previously ( if only briefly! ), for some more extensive coverage. Stay tuned as we start with Grocery Archaeology tomorrow!
