Right around Memorial Day, we first broke the news that a new Bottom Dollar Foods would be built on a long-vacant lot at 31st & Grays Ferry, across from the Pathmark Shopping Center. We check back in on this site today, the day before Veterans’ Day, and discover that the project is moving along rather quickly.

Though we told you about the project about half a year ago, we don’t think construction has been going on for much more than a couple of months. Clearly, the developers are looking to put Pathmark out of business as quickly as possible.

It’s a shame, really. Hopefully, both markets will be able to coexist successfully. We just aren’t sure how.
