Ferraro’s Market In New Haven Now Says It’s Back Open

NEW HAVEN, CT — The historic Ferraro's Market of Grand Avenue in New Haven which briefly closed its doors last week reopened on Saturday and the market's website said it will continue to remain open as usual Monday through Saturday.

On its website Saturday, Ferraro’s said "We have some good news! Ferraro’s of New Haven will be open... Monday-Friday 10-6, and Saturday 8-6, going forward!!" The news was met with great enthusiasm and has attracted hundreds of likes, more than 50 comments and 100 shares.

Last week the owners said on social media that they would be closing for the week except for Saturday and selling more items online.

The owners said last weekend that they decided to close briefly in an effort to give employees a much-needed break and to allow for a deep clean of the store. The owners said the brief change in operations and schedule had nothing to do with the coronavirus.

On Facebook, Ferraro's Market responded to a person's question about social distancing at the market by saying they "will only allow 25 people in the store at a time. Everyone is dressed COVID-19 properly. Store has arrows, 6 ft apart marks, and the cashiers have the glass windows. As of today, all customers coming in must have a mask and gloves, New Haven county law."

The family owned market was founded in 1952. The market sells a wide-selection of meats, seafood, deli, produce, dairy, frozen foods, prepared foods and more.
