Genuardi's Kosher Delis to Increase
amily Markets here plans to expand its Glatt kosher deli program to at least four stores by the end of this year, in response to a successful trial in its Huntington Valley, Pa., unit, according to company officials. Additional locations include a new store in Wynnewood, Pa., and two remodeled stores in Newton and St. Davids, Pa. By February, 2001, a new store in East Windsor, N.J., will be home to the fifth kosher program in the chain, they said. Glatt kosher delis require rabbinical supervision and special floor plans that keep fixtures and foods separated from the traditional deli.
