Northern Liberties Supermarket Update: Super Fresh?

The neighborhood of Northern Liberties certainly has many small, independent shops, gourmet delis and cafes, and there always seems to be plenty of spots for those looking to grab a unique bite. One thing it is missing, if you ask any resident, is a full supermarket to serve the rapidly growing community.

For the past few years, the neighborhood was promised a Pathmark next to the Piazza, which we've covered before. And then there were some issues with parent company A&P filing for bankruptcy last year...

Now we're hearing that the Pathmark could instead be a Super Fresh, from the latest at Philadelphia Business Journal.

We'd just like to see the 52,000-square-foot store open as soon as possible. Whatever store that happens to be, it will be the missing ingredient for this neighborhood. We have so many good things to say about Northern Liberties, this will give us one more!

We'll confirm as the details roll in.

UPDATE: Super Fresh is aiming for a late summer opening and is currently hiring.
