The Fresh Grocer of Grays Ferry, located at  3021 Grays Ferry Ave., hosted its grand opening on December 9 with a ribbon cutting ceremony and check presentation to Philabundance.
 
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney along with Pa. State Senator Anthony Williams, Philadelphia Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, and other local elected officials joined the celebration which culminated with the supermarket’s $10,000 check presentation to Philabundance. The donated funds will support local hunger relief efforts, providing more than 20,000 meals to people in need. 

The 57,000-square-foot Fresh Grocer is owned and operated by Patrick J. Burns and the Burns family, who have more than 30 years experience in the supermarket business.
​
"We are beyond excited to open a state-of-the-art, modern, full-service Fresh Grocer in Grays Ferry," said Burns. "The neighborhood is long overdue for a first-class supermarket and we are thrilled to open our doors to the community."
​
The store, formerly a Pathmark site that closed over a year ago, was completely renovated and expanded to offer an enhanced shopping experience with more than 40 varieties of home style prepared hot entrees made fresh daily, fire grilled chicken, Chinese cuisine, fresh sushi, a garden fresh salad bar, and Fresh Grocer’s signature made-to-order hoagies and sandwiches. Customers will also find an in-store bakery featuring special occasion cakes, expansive meat department offering custom cuts and special orders; a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and local produce; full service deli and seafood departments, and a beer and wine garden with wide variety of domestics and imports. In addition, the store offers an online shopping service via thefreshgrocer.com with curb side store pick-up and home delivery options available daily.  Shoppers who spend $50 or more are welcome to utilize the store’s shuttle service that provides complimentary rides home for customers and their groceries. 
 
The store employs approximately 225 full- and part-time workers and is open daily from 6 a.m. to midnight.
