Superfresh / Pathmark, Belleville, NJ
Here is the former Pathmark General Merchandise area, which has been replaced in the new Superfresh by an international foods section which was impressive in its depth and selection. This area should do very well, considering the area's demographics and the fact that the local Stop & Shop's idea of international foods selection is carrying both Ortega and Old El Paso.
The Superfresh does have a few aisles of Health and Beauty, but it seems to concentrate on food and grocery, and leave the rest to the Rite Aid up the road.

A new Superfresh opened this week in this former Pathmark on the Belleville/Newark/Bloomfield border in New Jersey. The store is located in a very ethnically diverse neighborhood and sits adjacent to the Silver Lake stop on the Newark Light Rail.
This architecturally boring Pathmark comes in at a 53,000 sq ft. It was built and opened in 1971, during Pathmark's early days and was so successful that Pathmark built a second store in Belleville (now ShopRite). It no doubt lost tons of sales volume when Edwards (now Stop & Shop) built a store on adjacent property which previously housed a Bambergers Furniture Warehouse, but this store was still incredibly popular with the local Latin and Caribbean communities right up until it closed last year.
The store is the fourth Superfresh to open since Key Food acquired the concept from A&P in February, 2016. Stores in Paterson, NJ; Bloomfield, NJ; and New York City have already opened, with additional stores in Glen Rock, NJ; Irvington, NJ and Edison, NJ opening soon.
