Red Apple Grilled on Myrtle Market Plans

We’ve been eyeing this sign along Myrtle Avenue for several months wondering when there’d be some news about the supermarket that was supposed to go into Red Apple’s recently-completed rental project at the corner Ashland Place and Myrtle Avenue. There were a few kernels of information that surfaced at a Community Board 2 meeting last week, but a lot of the important details—like who the operator would be and whether the market would be targeted more at the upscale residents of the new towers along Flatbush or those who live in nearby public housing—remained in the dark. (The fact that it will be located in the basement, while a drugstore takes the ground-floor space, suggests they may not be aiming for the stars.) The Red Apple Group rep did say that the operator would most likely be named by the end of the month, reported The Local, and that the store could be opened as soon as May.
