ShopRite Grocery Store
ShopRite is constructing a 65,000 square foot grocery store on Central Avenue in Albany, bringing 400 new jobs to the Capital Region. The store is the second of 8 locations planned for the Capital Region as this Rhode Island based grocery cooperative continues to build in-roads into upstate New York. The store will include grocery delivery service, a on-site dietician, pharmacy. Plans for the new grocery store included the razing of an outdated OTB facility, along with the construction of the brand new Clubhouse Race Book and 711 Sports Grill, removing an eyesore of a building and installing the business in a brand-new state of the art, family friendly facility.
Project Need (problem)
New attractive development at a major gateway for the city of Albany, combined with the removal of an outmoded facility. Ideally, business would support local community and provide many greatly needed jobs to area.
