Asian Food Markets Signs Lease to Open at Plainsboro Plaza

OLD BRIDGE, N.J., April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- R.J. Brunelli & Co., LLC today announced that Asian Food Markets, a chain of grocery stores focusing on East Asian packaged, fresh and prepared food, has signed a lease for a 43,152-square-foot anchor space at Plainsboro Plaza Shopping Center in Plainsboro, N.J., which is owned by Onyx Equities. The store is projected to open in the next several months.

Plainsboro Plaza, located at the intersection of Schalks Crossing and Scudders Mill Roads, is a 220,000-square-foot center currently anchored by Planet Fitness, CVS and Lightbridge Academy. Asian Food Markets, which is relocating from a smaller Plainsboro store at Princeton Meadows Shopping Center where it has served the Plainsboro market for over 15 years, will occupy the property's anchor space that previously housed SuperFresh.

Asian Food Markets was founded in 1992 with a single location in Edison, N.J. and has expanded throughout New Jersey. The company currently operates five locations in Jersey City, North Plainfield, Piscataway, Marlboro and Plainsboro.

The chain is currently looking for additional sites in northern New Jersey and New York City areas with a high concentration of Eastern and Central Asian residents, notes R.J. Brunelli Senior Sales Associate Pete Nicholson, who brokered the Plainsboro Plaza transaction on behalf of Asian Food Markets. R.J.
