Fairway Market, a longtime staple in the tristate grocery trade, is pushing back on an anonymously sourced news report that it is planning to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and close all of its stores, including a pair in this region.
“Despite reports, Fairway Market has no intention to file for chapter 7 or liquidate all of its stores,” the company tweeted. “All 14 stores remain open for business, offering a complete range of high quality, specialty food products, and we look forward to seeing our customers and employees.”
Founded in 1933 as a fruit-and-vegetable stand on Manhattan”™s Upper West Side, Fairway Market grew into a 14-store chain in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Fairway Market has a supermarket and adjacent liquor store at 699 Canal St. in Stamford as well as at the Post Road Plaza shopping center in Pelham Manor. The chain operated a store in Nanuet from 2013 until its closing in September.
