Brentwood, NY Ron Epstein of RC Commercial Partners leased two stores at Palm Plaza shopping center.

Palm Plaza Grocery Corp, operating as Compare Foods, has opened an 8,000 s/f supermarket. This is the fourth and largest store to date for the operator, Jose Urena.

Compare Foods has the size to offer fresh food and national brands at competitive prices, as well as the ability to provide a wide selection of traditional foods to serve the local community. “We saw that this market is not being properly served by the stores that are here,” said Urena. “We also recognized this as a tremendous opportunity to grow our business to the next level. We are very excited to be a part of the community and thankful for the warm reception we’ve had during our opening.”
