Somers' DeCicco & Sons Delays Opening

SOMERS, NY — The opening of the Somers DeCicco & Sons will be delayed due to circumstances beyond the store's control. According to information from Chris DeCicco, the vice president of DeCicco & Sons, the new opening date is uncertain and is expected to happen until March possibly.

"Although the delay is unfortunate and inconvenient, with a project of this complexity, you have to expect the unexpected and roll with the punches," he said.

The new location is situated adjacent to the Heritage Hills community of Somers and will be interconnected to Heritage Hills for certain water usage needs.

Michael Puma, director of operations for DeCicco & Sons, said the water issue is complex and relates to both the use of fresh water and waste water, not only by the store, but other commercial and residential properties in the vicinity.

"Making sure that everything is done in a way that complies with all legal and environmental considerations can be time consuming, and that has included some unforeseen challenges," Puma said.

"At the moment, until the water infrastructure for the area satisfies all relevant state and county agencies, we are in a holding pattern," he said.

DeCicco & Sons' new 20,000-square-foot Somers store will feature indoor and outdoor balcony seating, a bar with kitchen and a lounge and catering space. The store will also include fresh food stations such as salad bar, hot food bar, antipasti bar and juice and coffee bar.

There will also be a wide selection of grocery and specialty items, meat, poultry, seafood and produce.
