Morning Coffee: Flo’s Market to Open inside Ridgewood train station
MARCH 25, 2014 LAST UPDATED: TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 2014, 11:00 AM
In less than one month, rail commuters will have the chance to purchase their morning cup of java at the Ridgewood train station – a service that the busiest depot along New Jersey Transit’s Bergen and Main lines has operated without for nearly five years.
Last Wednesday, the Ridgewood Council awarded a two-year lease to Woodcliff Lake-based Be Power LLC, which will operate Flo’s Market inside the station building. The concession stand is an extension of Flo’s Market neighborhood store in Hawthorne.
According to acting Village Manager Heather Mailander, the company will pay the municipality $1,500 per month to use the recently renovated vending area. Mailander said the village requires that the operator open the business within 30 days of awarding the contract.
At an informal walk-through of the facility in January, six separate entities retrieved bid packages to run the coffee station from 5:30 to 10 a.m. during the weekday commute. Four bids were returned by the filing deadline, Mailander said.
