Gourmet Fresh On Court Street Expands Into Former Amelia Hair Salon

Carroll Gardens has been in dire need of a regular (and reasonably priced) supermarket ever since Met Foods on Smith Street and Pathmark on 12th Street in Gowanus closed their doors.  Now only Key Food on Henry Street remains, unless one has the means to shop at Whole Foods in Gowanus or Union Market on Court Street.
Gourmet Fresh, at 437 Court Street between 3rd and 4th Place, has been another option, though it is rather small.  However, a recent expansion into the space next door has increased its space by 50%, which is great news.
Gourmet Fresh now has a larger fruit and vegetable selection and hopefully, more items will be added to provide the neighborhood with another viable grocery store, even if their prices are still way too high.

The storefront Gourmet Fresh took over for the expansion was previously occupied by Amelia's Hair Salon which had been there for quite a number of years.  Amelia herself can still be found at Donne Salon on Smith Street, so she is still in the neighborhood.

What do you think of Gourmet Fresh's extra space and food offerings?  Does it replace a full sized supermarket in Carroll Gardens?
