Syracuse, N.Y. — Price Rite is going ahead with plans to open a supermarket in an impoverished southwest side neighborhood that community leaders have called a "food desert" because of its lack of grocery stores.
Dennis Bachman, manager of real estate for Price Rite, said the discount grocery store chain expects to begin construction at 601 South Ave. early this spring and open the 35,000-square-foot store in late summer or early fall.
Price Rite plans to build a 10,000-square-foot addition onto an approximately 20,000-square-foot vacant commercial building at the southeast corner of South and Bellevue avenues.
