Just over a year ago, extensive plans were announced for a new shopping complex in Northern Liberties, anchored by a major supermarket…that supermarket: Pathmark. Well, Pathmark didn't exactly work out as planned.
On December 12, 2010, Pathmark's parent company, A&P, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing assets of $2.5 billion and debts totaling $3.2 billion. That initial plan was chalked, and Pathmark was replaced with the latest in supermarket household names: Superfresh.
Today marks the opening day for the second-floor store at Second Street and Girard Avenue, complete with 120 employees and some locally source products.
Take that Hurricane Irene!
SCREAM @ ME!!!
