context_page_description: Fairway Market is an American grocery chain. Founded in 1933, it expanded in the New York area in the 21st century, with 15 grocery stores plus 4 liquor stores in the tri-state area as of August 2018. The flagship store remains at Broadway and West 74th Street, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
context_section_description: The original Fairway Market, at West 74th Street on Manhattan's Upper West Side, was a modest produce shop. By 1997, it had expanded with a café that served sandwiches, burgers, and breakfast, and became a steakhouse by night.
  In 2011, Fairway opened two more locations: one on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, which opened on July 20, and the other in the Douglaston neighborhood of Queens, which opened on November 16. In 2012, Fairway Market opened three more locations: in Woodland Park, New Jersey, on June 6; Westbury, New York, on August 22; and Kips Bay in Manhattan in late December. In 2013, Fairway Market opened a location in Chelsea, Manhattan, and another at The Shops at Nanuet shopping mall in Nanuet, New York.
  The sequence of all stores is as follows:
  The flagship store, founded in the 1930s, still occupies the original Broadway location in the Upper West Side.
  In 1995, Fairway's Harlem store opened in a significantly larger space. This store has a 10,000-square-foot (930 m) enclosed space, known as the "Cold Room," which contains the store's meats, seafood, dairy products, and beer. Silver coats hang nearby for customers who wish to keep warm while browsing the freezer.
  In 2001, the company opened its first store outside the city in the Long Island community of Plainview.
  In 2006, it opened its fourth store in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
  Fairway's fifth store opened on March 25, 2009, in the Fashion Center shopping mall in suburban Paramus, New Jersey, taking up a majority of the mall's former interior space. This was the first Fairway store located west of the Hudson River and the first location ever to open in the entire state of New Jersey. In March 2020, it was announced that the Paramus location will be closing soon and will be replaced by an Amazon Go market.  The official closing date for the Paramus location was supposed to be May 15, 2020, but it was delayed to the summer of 2020 due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
  On April 14, 2010, Fairway opened a new branch in a former Kmart in the Westchester County village of Pelham Manor, directly across the border with the Bronx. This became Fairway's third location in the New York City suburbs and sixth overall. Fairway opened its first Wine and Spirit store adjacent to the market. The second wine and spirit superstore was opened adjacent to the Stamford market.
  Fairway's seventh and largest location to date at over 80,000 square feet opened in November 2010 in Stamford, Connecticut.
  In 2011, Fairway opened a location on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on 86th Street, between Second and Third Avenues.
  Fairway also opened a location in Douglaston, Queens in 2011.
  In June 2012, Fairway opened its tenth food store and third Wine and Spirits Store in Woodland Park, New Jersey, in a renovated former Pathmark Super Center store. The company will close business at this location on April 1, 2020 and will be replaced by an Amazon Go market.
  Fairway Market opened a 68,000-square-foot store in the Roosevelt Raceway Center in Westbury in August 2012.

  Fairway Market opened a store in the DSW Plaza in Lake Grove, New York on July 23, 2014. This store was the first Fairway Market location in Suffolk County on Long Island and the 15th food store in the metropolitan area. The company closed the store after only two years.
  In January 2017 Fairway opened a store in a Georgetown (Brooklyn) strip mall. In March 2020 the store was sold to Key Food for $5 million.
