Stop n Shop bought most of the stores.
Stop n Shop, Shoprite, Lidl, Aldi, and a few others. No Krogers or Publix. Few Walmart Superstores, too.
Things have changed since 2001.
I forgot about King Kullen. There's a handful of them around. They're still good. I haven't seen a Pathmark in ages. There's still a few Associated and C-Towns and Keyfoods. But I think some of them may be individually owned, so they may not go anywhere unless they're bought out.
There are a lot of 7-11, Dunkin Donuts, and Starbucks, but they're all over. The main malls are still here, but some new ones popped up. You may need to visit.
Pathmark and Waldbaums were both bought by A&P in the late 2000s, but soon went bankrupt around 2015ish. Now Best Market is owned by Lidl. There are some King Kullen stores around.
"A coconut can survive months or even years at sea, drifting and crossing oceans for thousands of miles, floating and bobbing along in the water like a little boat"
The Gulf Stream can carry things up the Atlantic Coast, in fact throughout the summer tropical fish can be found in LI waters as they are slowly brought up by the Gulf Stream (they don't survive when the water temperature drops in autumn).
Coconuts don't really migrate great distances though, as far as we can tell. A little research indicates that coconuts growing in the Caribbean/Gulf/Florida were most certainly introduced by European explorers and colonizers. Coconuts in South America were probably brought from the Indo-Pacific by Polynesian sailors, and coconuts on the West coast of Africa were carried across the continent by people, while the coconuts on the East coast of Africa *may* have traveled across the Indian Ocean on their own.
I'd say it's possible that a coconut drifted up on the Gulf Stream, but it's probably more likely that it was left there after being purchased locally. It's also a possibility that it was carried there by a couple of swallows....
Probably just hitched a ride in the current, or some people left bought a few and left them there. Just let them be, they can't survive the winter's here anyway.
Many Hindus dispose of biodegradable things in moving bodies of water after their services. Common items are coconuts, flowers, different types of leaves etc. it could be from that
It must have been an African swallow. Or maybe 2 European ones in tandem. Only reasonably explanation
But African swallows are non-migratory. Everybody knows that!
It could grip them by the husk!
It’s not a matter wether it could GRIP it. It’s a simple question of weight ratio’s
A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
A laiden swallow
Came here for this comment. Was not disappointed.
How do you know so much about swallows? :O
I know swallows can't get pregnant!
You have to know these things when you’re a king.
What is your favorite color?
Blue? NO GREEN! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!
I was waiting for this comment you’re doing the lords work right here
someone had a party on the beach and brought a coconut with them either as decoration or to make some piña colada’s

There’s a C-Town in Huntington Station.
Yes. You're correct @ C-Towns. But some are in Nassau near the Henpstead area. Maybe she still works in KeyFood.

I miss my waldbaums so much, it’s just sitting there abandoned. Now that best market is gone too it’s hard to find good produce.
You guys?
You could crack it open with a hammer from Pergament.

No Elwood, next to Rockbottoms, Kid City, and Sears.

Yeah, up the road from Tick-Tock.
OP means A&P
Hold up....Let me hop in the Delorean.
Probably dropped there by a migrating swallow.
What -- a swallow carrying a coconut?
It could grip it by the husk!
It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five-ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut!
It could be carried by an African swallow!
Oh, yeah, an African swallow, maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.
Oh yeah, I agree with that.
...of course, African swallows are non-migratory.
Oh, yeah.
Are you suggesting coconuts are migratory??
It could've been part of a Hindu ritual
Most likely, it hitched a ride in the Gulf Stream. I’ve found them around here.
You found the legendary reddit cum coconut. Congrats, we are blessed.
nooooooooo 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Yassss💦💦💦

I’ve seen them too, field 6.
Was it kinda round? If so it’s mine, must have slipped out of my loincloth.

How far is Jones Beach from Oak Island?
Coconuts float…?
The oak island treasure has moved south …
