New Grocery Store Opens In Bethel

BETHEL, CT — A new grocery store has opened on Greenwood Avenue in Bethel, across the street from the Sycamore Drive-In.

After more than a year of renovations, the 14,000 square foot La Placita Bethel Market is now operating from the space formerly occupied by Caraluzzi’s Wine & Spirits. That establishment recently moved to a new building alongside Carluzzi's Bethel Market, just down Greenwood Avenue.

On social media, the store touted its fresh produce, meat service, fish service, hot foods, deli, and bakery, along with a wide variety of every day and international groceries.

Sister store La Placita New Rochelle "offers many foods such as tamales, frozen treats, fruits and vegetables originating from countries like Peru, Colombia, Guatemala, Argentina and Ecuador, among many others," according to its website.

"We would like to thank everyone involved throughout this journey & we hope to create a long lasting relationship with the town of Bethel & everyone who walks through our doors," the store owners posted on social media.

La Placita Bethel Market is located at 289 Greenwood Avenue and open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
