New grocery store expected to bring boost to south Albany

ALBANY — A new grocery store in south Albany will offer convenience and new food choices for residents in an underserved area of the city. The Food For Less Inc. store, an affiliate of Piggly Wiggly, also will bring some 75 new jobs to the area. The grocer, which will move into the former Harvey’s location at South Slappey Boulevard and West Gordon Avenue, was assisted by a $150,000 grant from the city of Albany, which also has arranged other financing. The Harvey’s store closed in early 2019. “We’ve been looking for the right grocery store to come in” for more than a year, said Albany City Commissioner B.J. Fletcher, whose Ward III is where the store is located. “It looks like it’s going to be a public-private partnership. It was a win-win for the residents of Albany.”
