Shoppers flock to new Key Food supermarket

Area shoppers wasted no time in visiting the new Key Food supermarket on Sunrise Highway and Ocean Avenue after it opened last Saturday with a formal ceremony and a ribbon cutting which was attended by Key Food executives and village officials.

Shoppers in the new, totally refurbished store will find a large deli section that offers premium products and a wide variety of ready-to-eat prepared food, in addition to a full selection of fresh dairy, produce and meat — including natural and organic items — and standard supermarket staples.

Owner Benjamin J. Levine, a Long Beach native, promised better quality, better variety, better pricing, old-fashioned customer service and one-stop shopping in the store.
