Long-time NJ market closes its doors for good

The Corrado’s Market location in Wayne has closed its doors permanently, after 15 years in that spot.

According to NorthJersey.com, a note was left on the window of the store thanking customers for their loyalty, saying the decision was not made lightly.

“Your patronage has been instrumental in our success, and we are sincerely grateful for the trust you have placed in us,” the note said.

As reported by NJ.com, the note further read:

Dear valued customers, it is with deep sorrow that we must inform you of the difficult decision we have made to permanently close the Corrado’s Wayne Store as of today. We write this letter with a heavy heart, but also with deep appreciation for your unwavering support and loyalty throughout the years.
