Today’s the big day.
The eagerly awaited Union Market, at 402-404 Seventh Avenue at 12th Street, is set to open. My prediction: the new branch of this locally owned upscale supermarket will be a huge success.
Up to now, South Slopers have had a long way to go for groceries. The excellent C-Town on 9th Street was the only game in town. Once there was a D’Agostino on 7th Street and Seventh but, alas, that’s gone now.
Opening the way for Union Market.
Key Food, the Food Coop are both a long, long way to go for dinner.
So hark the arrival of Union Market, which will change the grocery landscape above 9th Street and the price point. No one said it was cheap.
The excellent selection of prepared foods, organic produce, meat, bread and more should be met with great excitement.
I am curious to see how they’ve improved on the Union Street concept. Welcome to the South Slope, Union Market.
Just to note, They’re open until 9 nightly.
What is it with stores in Brooklyn, not posting hours?
One bad thing about C-town on 9th is it’s very expensive…
We’ve lived south-of-9th for six years now, and do 80% of our (non-Costco) grocery shopping at Village Market on 7th at 11th Street. It’s basically a mega-bodega but they’ve got a surprisingly comprehensive selection.
Union Market is welcome, but I’ve been surprised at how little need we’ve had for a full grocery store.
