The Gala Fresh Farms banner has joined Key Food Stores Co-op, a chain of primarily independently owned and corporate grocery stores, in the tri-state area. Key Food announced the grand opening of its first Gala Fresh location at 2485 Grand Avenue in Baldwin, New York, on Dec. 18.
“The Gala Fresh banner is a very welcome addition to the Key Food family of supermarkets,” said John Durante, Key Food’s VP of business. “The Jorge family has worked so hard to create a shopping experience that answers all of the community’s needs, and they’ve truly done just that. Customers are going to love the quality and selection Gala Fresh has to offer.”
At 25,000 s.f., the new Gala Fresh offers customers an extensive selection of fresh seafood, delivered to the store each day. There also is an assortment of hot food, sushi and fresh bakery items as well as a produce department catering to customers’ preferences with both organic and conventional produce. Each Tuesday, senior citizens and veterans can enjoy a 10 percent discount. The store also continues to increase its kosher line and soon will offer customers a large beer department, featuring craft and local beers.
Store owner Franky Jorge said, “Gala Fresh continues to adapt as our guests send us requests and feedback in store and through Facebook. We bring new items in every day and continue to expand our selection. Gala Fresh thanks the community for all of the support and will continue to bring great, quality products for a great price.”
