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.
