“We are constantly evolving to better serve the needs of our customers, and our store at NewCity is no exception,” said Bob Mariano, Chairman, President, and CEO of Roundy’s. “We of course have the traditional grocery staples, but with unique features like fresh smoothies, sushi and smoked barbeque, we offer an experience unlike anywhere else. When doors open tomorrow, our new neighbors in Lincoln Park will find a store that is truly one-of-a-kind.”
