While this may look like many other supermarkets this store is special to the residents of Woodlawn. Several years ago Mayor Bloomberg closed the local firehouse, and two years ago the local supermarket closed. The economic picture was getting bleak for residents of Woodlawn. Last week however this new C-Town supermarket opened up on Katonah Avenue in the heart of Woodlawn. This new supermarket signifies that Woodlawn is turning around. Local elected officials State Senator Jeff Klein, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, Councilman Andrew Cohen, and a representative of Congressman Eliot Engel were on hand to cut the ribbon and greet customers.
All of the elected officials said that they were glad to see this new supermarket, and that now residents of Woodlawn will have a first class supermarket right on Katonah Avenue. The store was enlarged, and many specialty areas have been added. There were lots of taste testing and gifts for the customers as they spun a wheel of prizes. Assemblyman Dinowitz won a new key chain.
The elected officials cut the honorary ribbon with the store owner.
