Supermarket opens, Mexican restaurant coming in South Plainfield

SOUTH PLAINFIELD – The opening of a new Tropical Supermarket and a new lease commitment with Mexican restaurant Blue Habanero are the latest happenings at the Clinton Corners shopping center.

Tropical Supermarket, which has a Hispanic flair and an established presence in New Jersey, took over space that formerly housed a Bravo supermarket.

Blue Habanero serves dishes including tacos, nachos, quesadillas, fajitas, burritos and more, along with natural drinks and desserts. The new Clinton Corners shop marks the brand’s third area location, joining existing restaurants in Perth Amboy and Neptune.

“Grocery is a significant element for any shopping center, and Tropical Supermarket is a perfect match both for this neighborhood and Clinton Corners. And with the continued impressive performance of fast-casual dining, we are excited to bring a Blue Habanero to the property,” said Vanessa Kelty of Levin Management Corporation which manages the shopping center.
