For nearly a century, the Cedar-Fairmount neighborhood in Cleveland Heights had a grocery store to serve residents.
That was until October of 2022, when Dave’s Market, once located in the Cedar-Grandview building, closed to relocate to a larger space.
The Russo family has been in the grocery business since the 1940s, when Sal’s grandfather, Sam Russo, opened their family store in the Cedar-Grandview building. Over the years, it was a Giant Eagle, then a Dave’s Market. The structure of the building consists of a mezzanine level, and a basement, which is considered outdated due to many grocery stores no longer needing those additions to function.
“Heinen’s was at the very top of our list, and since our families have a long-standing relationship and mutual respect, we were able to quickly begin constructive negotiations to bring Heinen’s to Cleveland Heights,” he said in the letter. Russo offered Heinen’s a $3 million incentive in cash and free rent after a $2 million Vibrant Community grant was withdrawn. In that proposal, Rite Aid had offered to put a 2,000-square-foot pharmacy inside Heinen’s.
At this time, city officials have acknowledged the request from Russo but there is lack of clarity on participation and how the grant will be allocated, according to Brian Anderson, the Assistant Director of Economic Development for the city of Cleveland Heights.
