Throngs of food-service workers and representatives of organized labor flocked to City Hall yesterday to try to convince lawmakers not to approve a zoning change that would allow “big-box” stores to open at the Bronx Terminal Market.
Although union officials said they had information the plans for the Terminal Market include a BJ’s Wholesale Club, Jesse Masyr, lawyer for the market’s leaseholder, Related Companies, declined to specify what stores are planned.
“What we’re trying to do is to make available space for those large-scale and midsize national retailers that exist in New York City but don’t exist in The Bronx,” he said.
