Store coverage

A full-size grocery anchor, built on guest-style service

Cherry Valley Marketplace is a New York-based independent supermarket chain serving dense, diverse urban and suburban communities, with stores in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Yonkers, Long Island and Connecticut.

The company is known for community-focused, guest-style service, built on the belief that good people are the key to success and that every customer should be treated like a guest walking into their home. Its stores dedicate aisles to a range of ethnic and religious dietary needs, with sugar-free, gluten-free, soy-free and no-high-fructose-corn-syrup options throughout.

The Waterbury store recently expanded to ±56,900 SF, and every suite at The Center of Greater Waterbury shares its parking field.
