Brooklyn Heights Gristedes: Closed Until July

The reopening date of the Gristedes supermarket in Brooklyn Heights -- closed after an April 1 fire -- has been pushed back to the first week in July, according to employees working at the store Tuesday.

"We're going to do it right," one man told McBrooklyn. He said that everything in the store still smelled heavily of smoke and would have to be replaced.

After the fire, management hoped that the store, on Henry Street in the North Heights, would be back in business by the end of May. (A small, walled-off section containing the pharmacy has been reopened.)

Peas n' Pickles, the deli and produce market next door, has never been busier.

  1. I heard they hired the kid Squadron to be the meet and greet guy, probably netting a couple of votes

  2. my point is that if one were to run for political office and got a senator to endorse oneself wouldn't you want to make this announcement in front of a school you helped teach in, a park you helped clean up or some affordable housing you made possible?

    Instead this idiot make the biggest announce ment of his young life in front of a semi-burnt out gristedes which nobody liked anyway.

    and my new other point is that you're an idiot too 3:13.

  4. John Catsimatidis, who owns the Gristedes chain, in possibly running for mayor. He and Schumer may be pals.

  5. When I saw our senator outside of gristedes I really thought he was going to declare the area a disaster and request FEMA money.

    Squadron missed his opportunity to talk about the enormous and rising cost of drugs (the legal kind) our seniors have to pay. oh well.
