Whatever happened to Stu Leonard's ? (Brookhaven, Yonkers: apartments, condos, neighborhood)

[nancy thereader]

The site with the Whole Foods question reminded me that we were supposed to have a huge interactive supermarket called Stu Leonard's in Farmingdale on Route 110. I think that they even broke ground about two years ago.
I know that Republic had a temporary injunction , but wasn't that ever resolved ? That would be a fun place to shop.

A less Rocky Point
In Rocky Point, people are taking their bypass to heart.

Built in the 1990’s, the road that takes traffic around the center of the community’s business district has also steered customers away from shops and restaurants, creating a shortcut to economic malaise.

But now that the residents of Rocky Point - population around 10,000 - are ready for a downtown revitalization, they want to bring traffic into town. So they will try to use the bypass to their advantage, as another way to access - not avoid - Main Street and the business area.

Eric Alexander, executive director of Vision Long Island, said the bypass could be used as a traffic relief valve, which is what it was designed to be, and another way to get into the downtown area from the south. Alexander’s company is currently working with the civic association and the Town of Brookhaven on a vision for Rocky Point’s business district. So far, the visioning has created a buzz and investors may be listening.

With the proposed Tallgrass mixed-use project percolating a few minutes to the east in Shoreham, Rocky Point residents are waking up to the opportunities of smart growth in their own neighborhood, championing Fairfield’s plan for 230 apartments and more housing above stores downtown. Rocky Point Civic Association President Diane Burke said owner-occupied stores and condos above would put more “eyes on the street” and bring new life to a dormant shopping area.

I believe the Stew Leonard's was canned in Farmingdale due to the safety factor. It was in a direct flight path of planes coming & going to Republic Airport.

There's a Stew Leonard's Wine in Farmingdale. I haven't been there yet. Is it worth the trip? (Although I can't imbibe until March. )

What exactly makes a supermarket "interactive" ? There's a huge Stew Leonard's right off the Thruway in Yonkers that I always pass....it looks scary.

They just built a massive collection of box stores on 110 right across from the driving range, on what I think was formerly SUNY Farmingdale buildings. Maybe it did get built after all?

I think that new development near Republic Airport is a Walmart and a couple of restaurants.

Stew Leonard's is AWESOME! By "interactive" supermarket, it means they have all this robotic stuff for kids. At least, I remember growing up in Westchester, we would make a special trip to Stew's in Ct. I loved it as a kid. I remember they had a giant twinkie, and you'd push a button and he'd talk to you, if you spent $100 at checkout, you got an ice cream cone, a petting zoo, a big train that went around the supermarket... The one in Yonkers is not as good.

They have ALL SORTS of food. Everything you could think of. I would looooove to have a Stew's in LI!
