Community Board 11 has approved an expansion for a proposed high−end supermarket in Douglaston that would allow the project to begin construction along 61st Avenue early next year and open by 2010.
The board voted unanimously in favor of a variance Monday that would pave the way for Fairway Market to add 10 square feet to its proposed supermarket at 242−02 61st Ave. in the Douglaston Plaza Shopping Center, where a Waldbaum’s chain store currently operates. Waldbaum’s lease expires in 2010, CB 11 District Manager Susan Seinfeld said.
The shopping center had previously applied to replace Waldbaum’s with a Best Buy electronics store, but the community had contended it would be better served by a supermarket. Douglaston residents at the board’s meeting called on its members to approve Fairway’s variance.

Fairway claims that they are "family" own but in fact they are own by some fat cat wall street company. They treat their employees no better than the meat they sell!
They are actually not family owned and they hire lots of illegalls too that's not the problem the problem is that when you have so many people with out paper they think the could treat us all the same way....
Fairwa treats their employees like slaves and pays minimum wage. Theres alot of immigrants,felons,welfare recipients,homosexual workers there.They treat their customers much better than their employess!
