Bodega be damned! Khim’s Market replaces Deli Mart on Bedford

Williamsburg’s busiest corner has a new tenant — an organic grocery store.

Khim’s Millenium Market will open its fifth Williamsburg store on Bedford Avenue and N. Seventh Street, replacing the beloved Deli Mart, which served its last cup of coffee to customers earlier this month.

The new store, which will open after the new year, will feature the same immaculate rows of produce, organic beauty products, vegan-friendly treats, and prepared foods that owner Charlie Khim has stocked in his stores since 1998.

The expansion of the Khim’s empire follows other upscale changes on Bedford Avenue, including a Duane Reade and HSBC bank branch.

Other Khim’s markets include locations on Bushwick Avenue, Graham Avenue, Driggs Avenue and further down Bedford Avenue, near N. First Street.
