Syracuse fye to close

Since the paper haven't caught up with this, then I'll do it myself. Also needed to put something new here. fye in Carousel Center will be closing Friday. Great Northern Mall in Clay and Sangertown Square in New Hartford will be the closest locations but it may not be convenient for everyone. I heard fye could return when Destiny USA is complete but its third-hand gossip and speculation at this time. The economy and internet has caused the Albany-based chain to shutter stores, including their own area.

Where to find Best Yet brand

Since 1893

Best Yet is one of the oldest private labels in the US celebrating over 120 years! It is either seen in indie stores or small chains affiliated with C&S Wholesale Grocers.  If you know any more, even out of state, do let me know.  It has replaced Shurfine/Western Family in many mom and pops since their sale to Topco several years ago.  Site now has complete list.  This is just a selection started before they had their own.

Grand Union (as of 2022, although they already had Best Yet from 2004-13 prior to Tops sale)
P&C (now in Cortland and Ithaca)
Best Market (formerly Best Yet Market) (until sale of all stores except one to Lidl)
Big M (see other post)
Green Hills Farms, US 11, Syracuse/Nedrow (formerly had second location)

Nojaim Bros, NY 174, Marcellus and Gifford & S West Sts., Syracuse (both now closed)
Great American, Delaware County (formerly in Jefferson [in recent memory], Madison, Oneida, Herkimer, Montgomery and Onondaga Counties)
Randys BiLo (Johnstown, PA; no relation to defunct Mid-Atlantic chain in later article)
Elk County/Ridgway Foods (PA)
Kalils Grocery, NY 28, Inlet (found this on short notice)
Maxwells, NY 5, Auburn (even had some retro-style Big M signage inside, but it may just came from C&S; now closed)
Kinney Drugs (select products only)
Nichols, Liverpool

Byrne Dairy (select products only)

Webster - Hegedorns (until June 2023), NY 404

Tops Adirondacks, eastern Catskills, rural Capital Region, mid-Hudson and Champlain Valleys in lieu of most Tops brands due to proximity of C&S warehouses
