Sweet Sounds of Summer at The Shops at Nanuet

The Shops at Nanuet will host music under the stars with its Summer Concert Series sponsored by Fairway Market.  The series will kick off on Thursday, July 3 and offer free, live entertainment each week starting at 6 p.m. every Thursday through August 28.

“We are thrilled to bring the Summer Concert Series to The Shops at Nanuet and to welcome Fairway Market as our sponsor,” commented Briana Puncar, Director of Mall Marketing and Business Development for The Shops at Nanuet.  “There’s no better time of year to enjoy this open-air shopping destination while taking in a wide range of music that can be enjoyed by every generation, young and old alike.  We look forward to welcoming concert goers to spend their Thursday nights at The Shops at Nanuet and enjoy dynamic live music and complimentary nibbles in a relaxing outdoor environment.”  

 “There is really no better way to bring together friends and family than great live music on a summer night, so Fairway Market is thrilled to be sponsoring the Summer Concert Series at the Shops at Nanuet,” said Bill Sanford, Interim CEO of Fairway Group Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: FWM), the parent company of Fairway Market.  “An essential part of being ‘Like No Other Market®’ is making sure that we give back to the communities we are located in.  To Fairway Market, this means more than just providing an abundant selection of fresh and conventional grocery products and a top-value shopping experience for our customers; it means being a good neighbor by finding positive ways to unite the community.  Sponsoring the Summer Concert series is the perfect way to do just that.”
