We appreciate your cooperation.
Fairway Update from Rabbi Daniel Cohen We are blessed to have numerous kosher establishments in our community. We encourage you to support all of them. Although our efforts at the beginning of the summer to insure the continuation of the kosher meat department at Fairway were successful, unfortunately many people have expressed their frustration with the customer service in the kosher department. We are working with Fairway to improve the situation and ask that you give them a second chance. It would be a win win for our community. I am in direct contact with Dennis Bland, Fairway Meat and Seafood VP and Sebastian Hernandez, local store manager. Please note information below. More improvements in customer service will be forthcoming. Do not place meat orders with the mashgiach. All meat orders should be placed with Don, the meat department manager, who is available every day except Wednesday. You can reach him by calling the store at 203-388-9815. This week, though, Don is away and you can call Sebastian. His direct number is 203-388-9826. His voicemail is active so messages can be left there. He is typically there every day of the week from 7-4 with the exception of Wednesday. Customer service emails can be sent to info@fairwaymarket.com. Please stay in touch with your ideas, concerns and feel free to be in touch directly with Sebastian as well. It is in all of our interests for Fairway to succeed. Thank you for your support. Wishing you and your families a Shana Tova and happy and healthy sweet new year. Rabbi Daniel Cohen |
