Earler today McFarlan’s Market in Merchantville announced via social media that the store will be closing later this month. “We will be closing the Merchantville location on December 14, 2019 while we continue to search for a buyer. Please know we did not take making this decision lightly,” according to a statement made on the store’s Facebook page. “We will very much miss our Merchantville family and the friends we’ve made over the last 9 years. You all made this a very special chapter in our lives that we will never forget.” This original corner store reopened in May 2010 after owners, Pete and Janet, gave the old Philadelphia Fruit Market a new look and returned to its original name.

A press release from McFarlan's Market Collingswood tonight announced that owners, Janet Stevens and Pete Burgess, are closing their Collingswood location effective August 15, 2019 and will continue operations at the Merchantville location.  The Merchantville location has been in business since May 2010 and the Collingswood location, which underwent a complete remodel, opened last September. Both stores feature specialty groceries including baked goods, butcher, deli, and prepared foods and catering services. The Collingswood location also features a café dining space. Both locations are fully equipped and furnished including refrigeration and cooking equipment. “While we love owning the stores and our employees, customers, suppliers, and both towns, the time has come to search for a new owner,” said Pete Burgess. “We feel an operator with the right concept and experience can make the stores profitable, but we are open to the highest and best use for both sites including possible conversion to restaurants,” added Burgess. Joe Riggs of NAI Mertz is representing the owners in finding potential buyers/operators for both locations and suggested that conversion to dining/restaurant operations would likely be the highest and best use.  Interested buyers can contact Joe Riggs at This email address is being protected from spambots.
