Large Asian Supermarket Coming to Corona

A Q’Stoner tipster was wondering what kind of supermarket was moving into the row of stores along 99th Street bordering LeFrak City, and it turns out it is the Chinese chain GW Supermarkets. It’s a small grocery store chain with eight locations throughout Boston, Maryland, Georgia, Virginia and two on Northern Boulevard in Flushing.

The grocer will occupy a large space that is now undergoing a massive renovation. (According to the GW Supermarket website, the store will have multiple delicatessens, as well as a produce and seafood selection.) It’s expected to open this summer. As our tipster says in regards to the rendering, “Apparently, they expect albinos and ghosts to shop there.” GMAP
