Iselin, NJ – Brooklyn, NY – Allegiance Retail Services marked the grand opening of its newest Foodtown in Brooklyn’s northern Bay Ridge neighborhood in late June. The newly constructed 9,000-square-foot supermarket brings fresh grocery shopping options to the community, transforming the site of a former Rite Aid into a vibrant neighborhood destination.
Known for its welcoming atmosphere and cultural diversity, Bay Ridge is home to residents with deep roots from Arabic, Irish, Italian, Greek, Asian, Hispanic, and other backgrounds.
The new Foodtown features an assortment of authentic international foods and specialty products, including Halal foods, that celebrate the area’s rich multicultural heritage while also offering fresh produce, meats, seafood, bakery items, and everyday essentials.
The store also features the trusted Best Yet private label brand, offering customers hundreds of high-quality grocery and household products at affordable prices. Known for delivering exceptional value without compromising on quality, Best Yet helps shoppers stretch their grocery budgets while enjoying the products they use every day.
With an ideal location on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue, directly across from a subway stop, the grocery store also offers exceptional convenience for area residents and commuters. Throughout opening day, shoppers commented on the convenience of being able to stop in after work to pick up fresh groceries, prepared meals, and grab-and-go items before heading home. In addition to the store’s convenient location, the store offers online shopping with Foodtown’s proprietary On the Go! platform, as well as other 3rd party online choices.
“We’re proud to welcome this new Foodtown to the Brooklyn community of Bay Ridge and applaud our independent retailer for creating a supermarket that truly reflects the neighborhood it serves,” said Joseph Fantozzi, President and COO of Allegiance Retail Services. “From a selection of Halal meats and products to authentic Asian and Hispanic foods, this store demonstrates the power of independent grocers to understand and respond to the unique needs of their customers. This is a neighborhood market where every resident can find the foods and flavors that are meaningful to their family.”
This Foodtown is located at 6900 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York.
