Neighborhood Shopping Center
Mailboxes Etc., which provides a full range of shipping and mailing services in addition to post office boxes, and Dunkin' Donuts are also located at the Bergen Street shopping center. Both are NCC-owned franchises. All earnings from the NCC franchises are reinvested in the community through NCC's programs and projects. The New Community Neighborhood Shopping Center on Bergen Street is home to a trailblazing inner-city Pathmark that opened in 1990. The 48,000 square foot, fifteen aisle Pathmark—which is two-thirds owned by NCC—draws 50,000 customers a week. Sales run well ahead of the projections set before its opening and the supermarket has consistently turned a profit. Before the Pathmark opened, neighborhood residents had to travel outside Newark in order to buy groceries in a supermarket. The Pathmark was completely renovated in 2001 to enable
consumers to have a modern and appealing shopping experience. All of
NCC's earnings from the Pathmark are used to support its community-based
programs and projects.
