SIGN THE PETITION TODAY! NEW SUPERMARKET IN CORAM!

Why this petition matters

I am a Coram resident, and I am passionately advocating for the establishment of an upscale supermarket on Middle Country Road. In light of the recent closure of Stop & Shop, there is a significant opportunity for visionary investment in a store that transcends conventional grocery shopping. Coram’s evolving demographics, including young families and well-educated, affluent individuals, are indicative of a clear preference for a supermarket akin to Wegmans or Whole Foods—known for their upscale offerings and exceptional customer service.

 

Imagine a marketplace that is not just a store but a vibrant community hub catering to the refined tastes and diverse needs of our growing population. This initiative is about redefining how we think about food and community spaces. A new upscale supermarket in Coram would cater to the sophisticated palates of over 50,000 residents, offering high-quality, organic, and often locally-sourced products, within a shopping experience that promotes well-being and community connection.

We urge forward-thinking investors to seize this remarkable opportunity. Your engagement can bring about substantial positive developments in Coram, making it a hub of activity and prosperity. It’s an opportunity to build something enduring—a marketplace that becomes a cornerstone of the community it serves. Sign this petition to demonstrate to potential investors and our government that there is a strong demand for a new, upscale supermarket, supported by a community ready to embrace a business that elevates their standards for quality and lifestyle."

 

Why This Matters:

 

Establishing an upscale supermarket in Coram is a pivotal step towards enhancing our community's lifestyle and economic vitality. This new store would not only fill a significant retail gap but also create a space that fosters community engagement and provides superior products and services that our residents value.

 

Action:

 

By signing this petition, you’re endorsing a future of prosperity and elevated living standards for all of Coram. Join us in this vision to cultivate a thriving, vibrant community centered around a supermarket that epitomizes our collective aspirations for a better quality of life!

Building Shut Down!

Thanks to your hard work, an unsafe building that was deemed structurally unsound and uninhabitable for human occupancy was recently shut down. This is a major win for our community as the safety and security of our neighbors is of the utmost importance. This building was partially being utilized as a homeless shelter - we are thankful that these individuals are being housed in different facilities throughout the county that are completely safe for human habitation.

 

The building is posted, but it is not boarded up. Please sign our petition and share it with as many as possible.
