BP MARKOWITZ HAILS ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WALGREENS, KEY FOOD WILL OPEN FULL SERVICE GROCERY STORE IN WINDSOR TERRACE

“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Walgreens and Key Food are teaming up to ensure that Windsor Terrace residents, who were organized by leaders like Ryan Lynch, Lauren Collins and Chris Huntington, will have everything from A to Z—from aspirin to zucchini. When the community works together with retailers, my office and elected officials such as Councilman Brad Lander and Assemblyman Jim Brennan, the result is a comprehensive, efficient and organized solution that prevents Windsor Terrace from becoming a food desert and instead guarantees a one-stop shopping solution. As someone who lives in Windsor Terrace, I know just how important it is for this location to provide access to fresh, affordable food. Walgreens clearly has its fingers on the pulse of the community, and this partnership with Key Food is just the medicine the pharmacist prescribed for Windsor Terrace.”
