Gourmet Glatt and Seasons adding new 5 Towns locations

Gourmet Glatt, one of three kosher mega-supermarkets in the Five Towns, will open a satellite store in the site of the much smaller Key Food supermarket on Railroad Avenue in Woodmere.

And Seasons is about to open a mini store — Seasons Express — a few steps from the Inwood train station, on Doughty Boulevard in Lawrence (photo). 

Gourmet Glatt has stores in Cedarhurst and Boro Park; Seasons operates on Central Avenue in Lawrence, on Main Street in Kew Gardens Hills, on the Upper West Side and in Scarsdale, with new stores in the works for Lakewood, NJ, and near Baltimore.

The third kosher superstore in the Five Towns — Brach’s, in Lawrence — recently sold its original location, on Main Street in Kew Gardens Hills, to another kosher operator.

A 2013 Pew Report found the Five Towns has the third-highest concentration of Jews in the eight-county area of New York City, Long Island and Westchester. Brooklyn’s Boro Park had the highest concentration, and Great Neck, the second-highest.

According to a 2011 United Jewish Appeal study, “The Orthodox Jewish presence is more prominent every year, with a total Jewish population estimated to be as high as 75 percent in some of the Five Towns.”
