Key Food has finally come to Hempstead. The new supermarket opened its doors on a warm winter day in February. The opening gathered many eager residents who were ready peruse the isles before the official ceremonies even began. The shelves were stocked, and all the produce that was stacked ready to go. Amid all the preparedness, the three store managers could be seen pacing back and forth - inside and outside. It was evident they wanted their grand opening celebration to be perfect. Everything you’d expect from a local supermarket was there and available that day. From the meat & fish departments to the fresh produce that had an alluring palette of colors, all was in tip-top shape.
Now how do you win the support of the village? Easy answer--you hire locals. According to store co-manager Julio Reyes, the new supermarket created 50 new jobs in the village. He made a point of hiring young people from the immediate surrounding neighborhood. “It’s fun and I get to meet new people,” said one young woman, who actually lives down the street from the store. Convenience of location is critical to the patronage of those who live in the neighborhood. They won’t have to walk or drive too far from home to find all the groceries they need. Being at located along the South Franklin Street corridor into Rockville Centre is an added bonus for the new Key Food supermarket. It offers a one-stop-and-shop for commuters driving through the village that won’t take them out of their way.
Look out Hempstead--there’s yet another bargain food supermarket in town and they are offering competitive pricing. Another great service they have is the customer satisfaction program which accepts suggestions from shoppers requesting what they would like to see in the store. So expect to have a great shopping experience at the new Key Food supermarket in Hempstead.
