Former Nojaim’s grocery store in Eastwood to see new life as neighborhood bakery

Twenty years after its closing, the former Nojaim’s grocery store in Eastwood is set to reopen next year as a neighborhood bakery. Real estate investor Stephen Skinner has an agreement to purchase the former corner grocery store in the 200 block of South Midler Avenue from the Nojaim family. Rose “Ma” Nojaim and her husband George – a branch of the Nojaim family that operated a supermarket on Syracuse’s West Side for nearly 100 years – opened their store in 1938 at the northeast corner of South Midler Avenue and Glen Cove Road. George died just a few years later. But Rose continued to run the store, living in an apartment above it, until just days before she died in 2000 at the age of 102. After her death, her son James operated the store for four years before retiring. He died in 2023. The store remains much like it was the day it closed in 2004: An antique, manually operated cash register still sits on the counter. Wood and glass coolers sit empty in the back of the shop. Pencil lines Rose made to mark the height of her grandchildren over the years remain on the wooden frame of the front entrance. “It’s a time capsule,” said Skinner.
