Best Market Plans $1M Renovation in East Northport, N.Y.

Independent grocer Best Market is undergoing a $1 million renovation at its East Northport, N.Y., store to offer customers of the location its new “quick, quality cuisine” and expanded product selections.

“We are excited to offer our communities a fresh, fun way to shop,” noted Or Raitses, VP and general counsel at Bethpage, N.Y.-based Best Market. “Adding these convenient lunch/dinner options and accommodating emerging food trends is just some of many ways we are working to provide a truly remarkable shopping experience.”

Since 2015, Best Market has acquired and opened more than 11 new locations that feature an all-new variety of grab-and-go food choices -- hot meals plus health food options like fresh-made juices, smoothies and salads; hand-rolled sushi; and expanded organic, plant-based and diet-specific brands.

“Our newest store in Syosset, [N.Y.,] is a great example of how we are looking to upgrade East Northport,” added Raitses. “You can keep kosher, vegan, gluten-free, low-carb, organic, etc., and find everything you need in one place at a great price. That’s the goal.”

The renovated space in East Northport will boast more than 21,000 square feet and an expanded sales floor to fully accommodate the independent grocer’s dedication to providing a superior selection of conventional, organic and locally produced products, along with fresh produce, quality custom-cut meats, Boar’s Head products, premium bakery items, and  frozen and grocery products, in addition to the new specialty departments. 

Founded in 1994 in Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y., Best Market operates 28 stores in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, with more to come.
