Located in the heart of Fair Harbor’s vibrant downtown, Fair Harbor Market represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Fire Island’s most established and successful grocery businesses. Serving the neighboring communities of Fair Harbor, Dunewood, Lonelyville, Atlantique, Saltaire, and Kismet, the market has been a cornerstone of Fire Island’s west end since 1968, operating as the area’s primary destination for groceries, prepared foods, deli service, meats, seafood, beach essentials, and everyday conveniences for generations of residents and summer visitors.
Operating annually from May through October, the business benefits from steady, high-volume seasonal traffic in one of Fire Island’s most active and socially vibrant communities, known for its beach culture, lively summer atmosphere, and iconic sunset views. Offered together with the commercial real estate, this is a true turnkey investment opportunity featuring both a thriving business and an exceptionally well-positioned commercial property in a highly sought-after location.
The market is thoughtfully laid out for efficient, high-volume operation and features four main grocery aisles, dedicated deli cases, and a large beverage section, creating a comprehensive shopping experience for both residents and vacationers. Behind the deli counter, a walk-in refrigeration box supports seamless food preparation and storage operations. The property is further equipped with a computerized house account system, ATM, commercial ice machine, new cooking hood with integrated fire suppression system, electric grill, walk-in freezer, dual walk-in coolers, extensive refrigerated display cases for dairy, meat, beer, beverages, frozen foods, and ice cream, as well as multiple box freezers and a high-capacity commercial ice maker. An adjoining breakfast, lunch, and ice cream window generates consistent foot traffic throughout the day and evening, while the second-floor two-bedroom apartment offers valuable owner accommodations, staff housing, or rental income potential.
A longstanding Fire Island institution with nearly six decades of operating history, Fair Harbor Market offers the opportunity to own an iconic and deeply rooted business at the center of one of Fire Island’s most desirable summer communities.
