We noted a few weeks ago that renovation of the Lundy's space is underway; now we're happy to bring you confirmation of the new tenant.

And the business that will be operating in the iconic building is... [cue drumroll]... Cherry Hill Gourmet Market, a local food market with a storefront currently on 2278 86th St, between Bay 32st street and 23rd Ave. in Bensonhurst/Bath Beach. It is expected that Cherry Hill-Lundy's will open its doors in the next 2 to 3 months.

I was passing by Lundy's the other day and noticed the door open with some work going on inside. I snapped a few shots, including the work permits confirming that the new businesses will be a "retailed food establishment with a restaurant", which is line with speculation that an Outback Steakhouse and Whole Foods-type market will take the place of the historic restaurant. The permits are for plumbing and new mechanical work, as well as new walls.
