The Fairway supermarket chain is expanding its New York City presence, according to the New York Times, with plans to open a new location at 240 East 86th Street between Second and Third avenues. While the exact square footage of the new location, which will settle into a former Barnes & Noble bookstore, is unknown, a source from the company said it would be roughly the same size as the company’s flagship location on the corner of 74th Street and Broadway. This new location will mark the company’s seventh. Fairway officials expect the store to open in about six months. [NYT]
