SHAW'S SUPERMARKETS, East Bridgewater, Mass., will enter New York's Hudson Valley market next year with eight stores in Orange, Rockland and Westchester counties. Shaw's broke ground last week on a 54,000-square-foot store in Nanuet, N.Y., and site work has also begun for a 65,500-square-foot store in New Rochelle N.Y. The chain plans to build six more units in the area, said spokesman Bernard Rogan. Shaw's southward expansion was accelerated by the 1996 acquisition of 12 Edward's stores in Connecticut from Ahold USA, Atlanta.
