Monaco went onto say that he close to signing on a different “superette” that he believes will help meet the community’s needs. Local citizens, however, still have their doubts.

Outside organizations have been meeting in hopes of achieving a new agreement for the beloved grocery store in the Bronx. State Sen. Jeffrey Klein said he has requested a meeting with DeCicco and Monaco. He, state Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz and City Councilman Oliver Koppell hope diffuse the matter.

Similarly, the Woodlawn Heights Merchants Association, is also working on the issue, said vice president Shawn Nealis. The group is also looking for tenants to fill a handful of empty storefronts along Katonah Ave.
