Chef Central Closing

After moving from their established Central Park Avenue location just south of the Hartsdale Four Corners, Chef Central moved to a temporary location in the Crossroads Shopping Center. This interim move was to hold them through the holiday shopping season until they could move into a nearby space especially for them in the same shopping center. The holidays are a make or break seasonal event for many retail establishments.

After only two short years in the Crossroads Shopping Center, Chef Central is calling it quits. Area competition with similar products by Chef City at 65 Tarrytown Road, could not be helping the Chef Central store. Chef Central’s moving into a smaller space than they previously occupied on Central Park Avenue also gave the new store a bit of a cramped feel and an inability to display as many products that had been visible previously. While parking at their original locations almost ensured a visit to the store, the new location’s parking while ample could get congested at times. Although we don’t believe parking was an issue in their demise, multiple moves, internet sales and area competition made survival difficult.

Sadly, here's another business that moved from their well-established area in Hartsdale and it’s taken its toll on them. While a huge banner-like sign in the window advertises ther store is closing, a smaller sign says they will be closing before or on January 3, 2016. ABG just published an article about the closing of Mrs Green’s supermarket. They had been successful in the Scarsdale location on Central Park Avenue.

The fabric of our Town is made through a variety of types and styles of businesses making our Town vibrant. We’re upset to see any business in the Town, Villages and area close. Chef Central is currently selling its inventory off at discounted prices. We wish the employees and owners of these businesses well. They will be missed as they contributed to making A Better Greenburgh.
