Associated2 - for temp closure announcement

Associated Supermarket at 492 Myrtle Avenue between Hall and Ryerson will close by the end of March. This closure will be temporary but long-term while construction takes place. Construction is scheduled to last approximately one year. Both property and store owners have confirmed the store’s return upon construction completion. The plan includes both residential and commercial development, which in the end will include a renovated 13,000+sf Associated commercial space plus residential development. The entire lot is zoned R7A which allows for an up to eight story building, but we will report the details or extent of the construction as soon as we know more. Please stay connected for updates.

Associated Supermarket is working earnestly to make this period, which will be rough for all, as easy as possible under the circumstances. Associated will offer free delivery and pickup services starting April 15th and will also run a shuttle bus for at least a month from Myrtle Avenue to their other two locales: Associated at 367 Waverly Avenue between Lafayette and Greene Avenues and Brooklyn Fare at 200 Schermerhorn Street between Hoyt and Bond Streets. Connect with Associated Supermarket via Facebook (Associated Supermarket 492 Myrtle Ave) or Twitter (@492MyrtleAve) for updates. As Associated prepares to close their doors for now, they are offering big sales on groceries, 20% off beginning today.

Other businesses that were once located in this lot now slated for redevelopment include: Bergen Bagels (now at Myrtle Hall, 536 Myrtle Avenue); T-Mobile (reopening in less than a month in its new space at 436 Myrtle); Yes Cleaners (relocating to 570 Myrtle Avenue); New Grace Kitchen (now at 545 Myrtle Avenue).
