New Urban Market Supermarket To Open In Hoboken Friday: Look Inside

HOBOKEN, NJ — Urban Market, a new 14,000-square-foot supermarket run by the owners of Brooklyn's Dumbo Market, is expected to open this Friday, said staff and signage posted on the doors.

The market will be double the size of the Kings Supermarket four blocks away.

The market, uptown at 1425 Washington St., boasts fresh produce and a bakery.

Dumbo Market opened its first location in the DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) section of Brooklyn at 66 Front St. The Hoboken location will be its first in New Jersey.

Besides its location a few blocks from Kings, it's also five blocks from a nearby Trader Joe's.

A staff member says they are tentatively expected to open at 8 a.m. on Friday.

Plans For More Supermarkets

Another market is expected to open in the opposite corner of town when the former Chambord space at 38 Jackson St. is redeveloped into the South End Market and Lofts. And plans reportedly have been proposed for a Whole Foods market at 101 Washington St., inside a former bank building.

The city also has a ShopRite and a smaller Acme on the west side of town.

The new market is located at 1425 Washington St.
