Joining anchor tenants CVS and McDonald’s, Apple Farm, a grocery store, opened November 6 in Blue Mountain Plaza shopping center at 20 Welcher Avenue in Peekskill . With successful stores already in White Plains and Croton-on-Hudson, the Apple Farm Peekskill location marks a move further north for this highly-trafficked grocery.
Blue Mountain Plaza has itself undergone roughly $10 million in recent renovations and upgrades, enhancing the customer experience. Conveniently located off of Route 9, Blue Mountain offers one-stop shopping. Kurtsam Realty President and shopping center owner Joanne Landau pointed to the revival of Peekskill’s downtown and train station areas. “Peekskill has become a destination – a place to be,” she said. “We are excited to be a part of it.” Mayor Andre Rainey, Council persons Patricia Riley and Ramon Fernandez, Kurtsam Realty Corp. owners Joanne Landau and Fred Schwalb and Apple Farm officials Dan Kim and Sang Ho Lee attended the Friday opening.
