One year after West Hartford's beloved Crown Market nearly closed down for good, business is thriving and the ownership has presented a plan to renovate the kosher store.
The Crown Market posted renderings of its remodeled facility on Facebook late last month, which includes new bakery and produce departments, an expanded deli counter, new dining area and refurbished meat department.
"After listening to your comments and suggestions, we are excited to reveal the plans for a completely remodeled Crown," the owners wrote. "A renovation of this magnitude takes time to plan and coordinate. Construction is expected to begin, subject to all approvals in place, after Passover."
Last year's Passover was a defining moment in the history of the Crown Market. Owner Mark Bokoff, who purchased The Crown in 2009, announced he was closing the market last February due to financial constraints. Two weeks later, a group of new investors breathed new life into the business.
"We are all excited for the new store, and the next chapter at The Crown, and we are doing everything we can to expedite that process," the management team wrote on Facebook.
