MILLERTON — Chris Choe, owner with his wife Kim of the future Millerton Supermarket on Route 44, said in an interview with The Millerton News that the food market will open within months, possibly by October.

Choe said the delay of the opening was due to the couple’s opening of Market 360, a 20,000 square foot supermarket in downtown New Haven, Connecticut, on June 4.

Choe was interviewed in an aisle of the Sharon Farm Market in Sharon, which the couple also operates.

Now that the New Haven market is up and running, the Choes will be turning their attention to the Millerton site that they purchased in November 2024 for $1.75 million. The Millerton market is on the site of the former Grand Union.

Choe promised a large Asian food selection.
