Westside Market to open first location on the East Side of Manhattan

Westside Market NYC, the family-owned and operated neighborhood food markets in New York City, will be opening its latest location at the base of the new rental building, 84 Third Ave. Located in the East Village on the corner of East 12th St., this marks the fifth Westside Market NYC, and the first for the brand to be located on the East Side of the borough. Offering freshly-prepared foods, specialty products and catering, the two-level store will occupy 18,871 s/f - 10,500 s/f at the ground level and the remaining space at the lower level. Noticing a gap in the market for food retailers in the area, representatives from 84 Third Ave. felt that adding Westside Market NYC to the building would help further elevate the offerings at the nine-story, 90,000 s/f residential development and the neighborhood overall. "Since the original Westside Market NYC was opened by my father, John, in 1965, we have worked diligently to provide the best supermarket experience to residents along the West Side of Manhattan," said George Zoitas, CEO of Westside Market NYC. "After 48 years, four locations, and many people asking when Westside Market NYC would meet the East Side, we felt that the opportunity with 84 Third Ave. was the perfect introduction for our brand to the other side of Manhattan." Currently under construction, Westside Market NYC and 84 Third Ave. will be completed early next summer, according to Newmark Grubb Knight Frank Retail's Stu Morden, Westside Market NYC's real estate advisor.
