Fairway Market is an American grocery chain. Founded in the 1930s, it is one of the United States' highest grossing food retailers per square foot with 14 million customers per year. Fairway has had significant store expansion in the New York area, with 14 locations in the tri-state area including 14 food markets and 3 wine and spirit shops. The flagship store still occupies the original Broadway location at West 74th Street, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York. Sterling Investment Partners, a private equity firm in Westport, Connecticut, bought a controlling stake in Fairway Market in January 2007 and committed to substantially expanding the chain in the Greater New York metropolitan area. Sterling made a $150 million capital investment in Fairway and has thus far committed to over $100 million for Fairway’s expansion, enabling the enterprise to grow rapidly and generating 2,100 new jobs in the tri-state area within the ensuing 3 1/2 years.
