Fairway shut temporarily due to local power outage, by George Fiala

The temporary generator is in the white truck at the front of the store.

Latest Update: They reopened Tuesday morning at 10 am. You can go shopping now!

Tuesday Update: Fairway tells us they are hoping to open by noon today (Tuesday). They are restocking some of the sections that had spoiled food, including dairy and the deli.

UPDATE: The generator has arrived.  Power was turned on around 8 pm Monday night. Fairway is expected to re-open Tuesday morning.

Red Hook’s Fairway supermarket had to shut down on Sunday at 4 pm due to a sudden power outage.

The outage extended to the whole building, which includes residential housing above the store.

A Fairway official confirmed that the outage was due to a cable failure. The store is powered by a co-generation facility which is located at the Conover Street end of the parking lot. The cable is located under the parking lot.

The O’Connell Organization, which is the landlord, has ordered a large generator to re-power up the building until repairs to the cables can be made. Fairway officials that the generator is on its way and they are hoping to reopen no later than Tuesday.

Fairway was able to save most of its merchandise as they do have emergency procedures for an electrical outage which includes the use of dry ice.

As of 11 am Monday the store was still closed.
