“Benny Colon, the man who brought The Commission Beer Chamber to 2230 Curry Ford Road in 2020, has another business in the works to open next door — and this one is a complement to the bar,” the report states.

“Colon has signed a lease and work is underway to transform the 1,004-square-foot space at 2218 Curry Ford Road into a bodega-style eatery.”

“I grew up in the Bronx. I grew up going to bodegas,” said Colon. “Now, if you’ve been to one, you know a real bodega looks like a small grocery store. We’re not going to have all of that. It will be more like a deli with a to-go counter and we’ll have some of the classic sandwiches you would typically find at a New York bodega.”

“We’re going to have a chopped cheese sandwich and a bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich — plus a Puerto Rican tripleta sandwich,” said Colon. “There will be a small, refrigerated case with a few grab-and-go items, but mostly we’ll serve made-to-order, take-out food.”

No opening date has been set, but Colon is eyeing to debut in 2024
