Business owner Krishnan Patel and his new neighbors on Central Highway have come to an agreement on his plans to convert the former Riggio’s Deli to a Sainsbury Convenience Store on Thursday evening, Feb. 25.
Patel purchased the storefront and plans to make several improvements, including adding 1,600 feet to the existing building and reducing parking spaces. His neighbors on Anton Court called into the Planning Board’s ZOOM session held Jan. 25, expressing concerns about the store’s proposed hours –5:00AM-11:00PM as well as concerns about noise and lighting. Patel agreed to meet with homeowners, and at the Feb. 25 meeting, he and his attorney appeared to let planners know those concerns had been resolved.
