Fairway Market has vacated an 80,000-square-foot space in Stamford’s South End and its owners are looking for a new grocer, according to the Stamford Advocate.

The property owner, Building and Land Technology, is “actively engaging with prospective tenants” for the property, said BLT co-president Ted Ferrarone.

A few major grocers have at least for the time being ruled themselves out, including Wegman’s, Stew Leonard, Stop & Shop and ACME. Potential candidates include Bogopa Service Corp. and Village Supermarket. Both have acquired former Fairway properties in New York and New Jersey this year.

Bogopa acquired a Fairway location in Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood in July. Fairway declared bankruptcy for the second time in four years in January. [Stamford Advocate] — Dennis Lynch

Correction: An earlier version of this story misspelled the surname of the BLT co-president quoted. It is Ferrarone, not Farrarone.
