The Independent Edition

Williams Farm Owner:  Jung Yong Shin Opened:  2004 Cooperative:  none Location:  131 New Main St, Getty Square, Yonkers, NY Photographed:  March 2019 Wrapping up our coverage of Getty Square with this greengrocer of about 1600 square feet. This store is at 131 New Main Street, with the former Compare Foods at 125 New Main two doors down, then the Shop Fair at 116 New Main (don't ask me how those numbers can all be on the same side of the street, but I digress) four doors down beyond that. All three are visible in the above photo. Now that we're done with downtown Yonkers, we'll be passing through the much more suburban neighborhoods in the northeast of the city!

Juan Supermarket Owner:  Juan Supermarket Inc. Opened:  2014 Cooperative:  unknown Location:  61 Riverdale Ave, Riverdale, Bronx, NY Photographed:  March 2019 I know it's hard to see, but the left side of that storefront has a sign that (barely) says Juan Supermarket. It was previously Hernandez Supermarket, and it starts our coverage of the downtown/Getty Square part of Yonkers. This store is located on the same street as the Skyview Shopping Center, where we saw a Key Food and Riverdale Kosher Market , just about two miles north. This is our first of five grocery stores we'll be seeing a matter of blocks from each other, and up next is the ShopRite just across the street.

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!
