Bay Ridge threw a ‘supermarket war,’ except no supermarkets cared to show up.

Unlike Bay Ridge’s very real bank buildup – to characterize what’s happening with local supermarkets as a ‘war,’ could more accurately be described as a cry for humanitarian aid.

Despite the calls of angry residents incensed over the prospect of walking 3 extra blocks to Foodtown – Key Food of 95th street will close on schedule, by the end of the month, to make way for a much decried Walgreen’s Pharmacy.

Now, almost out of nowhere, the Brooklyn Eagle is reporting (probably via a Golden press-release) that another Key Food supermarket is poised to open somewhere in northern Bay Ridge, along 69th street – this fall.

The newest Key Food will reportedly boast parking ‘across the street,’ leaving only a few possible locations for the new supermarket; namely, the 4th avenue Rite Aid as the most likely.

However, all hope is not lost for southern Bay Ridge – Richard Martin is reportedly in talks with Walgreen’s corporate offices to get them to sell produce and other foods at their 95th street location.
