From the Queens Tribune:“This neighborhood is turning into a dead man’s land,” said Gail Solomon, speaking of Aguilar Avenue and Kissena Boulevard, adjoining stretches of commercial property in Kew Gardens Hills. Solomon, dismayed by the news that the Pathmark on Aguilar Avenue will close for good this May 29, looks up from her wheelchair and says “we need supermarkets.”
Norse Aguilar Realty – a company with many real estate holdings along Aguilar Avenue and Kissena Boulevard – holds a lease with Pathmark that runs until 2019. That leaves Pathmark in a $27,000-per-month bind until it can find a party to sub-lease from them, or from whom they can elicit a guarantee for the landlord...Bad news for all: if the company can not find a stand-in, the lot will remain empty until Pathmark’s lease is up.

A lessee named Kevin Kim is already filing for DOB permits for the Pathmark site at 155-15 Aquilar. Something is coming...
I live a couple of miles away but i was there once and the store is kind of small and the lot was always full. I guess i'll have to go out east.
Good Riddance! This store has many customers who take the shopping carts home, but do not bring them back. Every time I walk within a 10 block radius I see at least one abandoned Pathmark shopping cart on the sidewalk. Hopefully the next supermarket at this site (if there is one) will charge a deposit for taking a cart off the premises or just prevent carts being removed altogether. Also, they didn't maintain the parking lot lights, the self-checkout lanes are extremely buggy, and the other checkout lanes are notoriously slow due to frequent disagreements regarding price. We have plenty of other supermarkets in the neighborhood, including Met Food, 2 Key Foods, Wassermans, Brachs, Supersol. Freshdirect, Peapod, and Waldbaums all deliver to this area for those who aren't able to travel to the above mentioned stores.
I absolutely agree with Wrap10. I don't usually came to this supermarket. But every time i was there, I left frustrated...with the long line, the slow movement of the cashier. The merchandise is messy displayed and out of order. It also constantly ran out of on sale items.
an also the cashiers there are lowlifes.. all they do is talk talk talk and holds up the line. I was telling my wife that this place will go out of business if they don't straighten up these lowlife cashier and replace them with better people. I guess the result explained what they chose to do.
I'm not surprise this pathmark goes out of business because of the lowlife cashiers there.
Take a look at them and the way the do stuff. A zombie is faster than them and all they do is talk talk talk. I had that experience once where the cashier takes a freaking can and talks to some other cashier and she is giggling aways and laughter so damn hard that I was thinking if you stop talking and start working, you would've have scanned in 8 items already.
I was telling my wife that if this pathmark do not straighten up the cashiers, they will go out of business..and even complaint to the manager. I was hoping they do go out of biz so those lowlife will be like "crap.. shouldn't have talked too much.. now need to get another job." I guess pathmark never straighten out the cashiers
