Subway Store on Queens Blvd to Split in Two, Building Sells for $3.45 million

The space occupied by Subway Restaurant on the corner of 44th and Queens Blvd (north) is being split into two.

Subway will continue to occupy half of the 43-19 Queens Blvd ground floor space with the other half being walled off to become a lottery/convenience store. The convenience store is expected to open early January.

The restaurant opened on Queens Blvd in 2010 and its franchise owners also included a bodega-like “express grocery” at the time.

The site has been occupied by several bodega owners over the years. Prior to 2010, it was rented by Welcome Mart, a small grocery store.

The building that houses Subway, the upstairs apartments and the stores around the corner—such as the hair salon and the former real estate office—sold on Sept. 8 for $3.45 million to an entity registered in Flushing by the name of 43-19 Sunnyside LLC.

There is no sign of impending development. The new owner has not filed for permits with the Department of Buildings.

Can’t they come up with something other than a convenience store ? We already have one on 45th st north side and one on 46th street south side. How many lottery places do we need?

I don’t know how there going to make it split into two spaces. It will be so small, I think it’s perfect the way it is to be honest. Just another reason to spend money to the city…

The New York City Council passed a landmark bill on Wednesday, aiming to relieve renters of paying hefty broker fees — a cost that will now fall on the party who hires the listing agent. Known as the FARE Act (Fairness in Apartment Rentals), the legislation passed with a veto-proof majority of 42-8, despite opposition from Republicans and conservative Democrats.
