Rent had recently doubled, Kevin Luna said, finally forcing he and Jaime out.Īssemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, whose office fielded a number of calls about the location, said he heard the store will reopen in a week under new ownership. Now that the city is in the third phase of reopening on what is hoped to be the other side of the pandemic, it seems for the Luna brothers, enough was finally enough. Jaime Luna ultimately told Councilman Andrew Cohen, however, that Key Food would “remain open to service our community during this time of need.” Rumors of Kevin Luna and brother Jaime departing reignited in March - just as the state shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic - in a time when many neighbors said they needed the location the most. “We aren’t sure who that might be, though. “For Key Food, there’s no set date on when it’ll reopen as there’s new ownership,” Luna told The Press on Monday. Two years later, however, it seems the Luna brothers are out. “I’ve expressed an interest in extending the lease, but the landlord might have other intentions, other projects in mind with his property,” Kevin Luna said at the time. In fact, Kevin Luna told The Riverdale Press in 2018 he would be interested in doing those renovations himself, if only he had a longer-term deal to stay there. Fixing it appeared to be a battle between the location’s owners, the Luna brothers, and Skyview Shopping Center landlord Braun Management. The Key Food location was battered with complaints over the years, primarily from what seems to be a rapid deterioration of its decades-old strip mall space. Yet, that’s exactly what happened to the long-embattled North Riverdale grocery store Monday morning when would-be customers were greeted with large banners declaring the store had indeed closed.

It’s not like it was free of issues before, but few expected the Key Food supermarket at 5661 Riverdale Ave., to be shuttered on a seemingly random morning.
