The second Key Food opening occurred in the Bronx as Food Fair Fresh Market opened at 2467 Jerome Avenue. “We’re excited to give back to New Brunswick by bringing a new grocery option to the area and providing new job opportunities.” Good luck to the Reyes family! “We are so thankful for the community’s ongoing support,” says Reyes. Truly making it a family affair, Manny’s wife Kiury has taken a leave from her position as a medical doctor to help get the store up and running. New store décor and signage really brighten up the establishment. “Customers are going to be thrilled with everything Food Universe has to offer. “Manny Reyes has worked incredibly hard to bring this beautiful store to the New Brunswick community,” says VP-of customer development for Key Food Rich French.
He put the 20,000 square foot store under a tremendous renovation, moving departments around the perimeter and adding new meat and seafood departments, larger produce and bakery departments, and a huge international section that offers his customers a variety of items from around the world. Manny worked for the Estevezes for many years and decided to make a go of it on his own. The new owner is Manny Reyes, who acquired the store from the Estevez family that had operated it as a Foodtown. The first to open was the Food Universe located at 20 Elizabeth Street.
Key Food Stores added two new accounts to its portfolio of more than 330 stores when a Food Universe opened in New Brunswick, NJ and a Food Fair Fresh Market debuted in Da Bronx.
