Whole Foods

Somewhere out west (no two are alike anyway, yet I copy and fix this logo for my fantasy locations).

Whole Foods have been looking into coming to CNY. With rival Trader Joes now open in deWitt, they may up the ante now so here's where "Whole Pay Cheque" (as some may call them) should consider if not downtown Syracuse:

deWitt, NY 5 (former Shoppingtown to become District East in 2025-26; or former Bed, Bath & Beyond in Marshalls Homegoods Plaza [subject to change])

Liverpool, NY 31 (former Price Chopper as of 19/4/24, COR Plaza [unless it becomes furniture store])
Ithaca, NY 13/34/96 (former Hobby Lobby)
Auburn (Fingerlakes Mall, NY 5 & US 20)
Fulton, NY 481 (former kmart)

New Hartford (former Macys/Hess's/Kaufmanns at Sangertown Square on NY 5 & 5A; pictured)
North Syracuse, US 11 and I-81 (Northern Lights; former Staples, Michaels, Media Play or TJ Maxx)
Canandaigua, US 20 & NY 5

Horseheads (former Ames)

Watertown, NY 3 (Salmon Run Mall; former Christmas Tree Shops)

Cortland, NY 281 (former kmart)

Taylor, PA; S Main Ave (former Price Chopper)

UPDATE: amazons purchase may move them to open more stores.

Only one outside NYS I'm doing because of old guard

Price Chopper closer to home, but maybe my own photo

Stewarts Shops

Fort Edward location.

    With the new Stewarts Shops store in Liverpool now open for business there are a number of spots they could open as their footprint in CNY is limited at best compared to the Hudson and Mohawk Valleys. Here's where they could go since Sen Schumer is trying to get closed stations to reopen:

deWitt, NY 5*
Elbridge, NY 5
Auburn
McKownville (Albany), US 20
Mattydale
Cicero, US 11*
Baldwinsville, NY 31 & 370
Canastota, NY 13 (former Sunoco/ExpressMart)
Syracuse (Thompson Road), NY 635 between former Tim Hortons and JPW Riggers
Fulton, NY 3 (former Davidson/Fred Raynor/Reymore Ford)

*Former Mobil.

Massage Envy

New Hartford - Sangertown Square

Downtown Syracuse
