It’s not every day your grocery experience includes marble bathrooms, a comfy room for nursing mothers and a large bar with a view of the Tappan Zee aka Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for what DeCicco & Sons offers at its new bi-level Sleepy Hollow store located in the Edge-on-Hudson development.
Set to open at 7:30 a.m., March 28, the sprawling 50,000 square-foot store — the largest in Westchester (only Brewster is bigger) and the second that’s been built from the ground up (Somers was the first) — also features a state of the art enhanced deli section with a carving and smoked meats section, a wider inventory of prepared foods (think more Asian and Latin products), a glass elevator and two events spaces, each of which has its own kitchen.
There’s almost no detail the owners behind the business — brothers John and Joe DeCicco Sr. and sons Chris, Joe Jr. and John Jr. — haven’t thought of, including nods to Sleepy Hollow with a Headless Horseman artistic cutout suspended behind the beer taps and purse pegs under the bar in the shape of the Headless Horseman.
Of course there are also rows and rows of grocery and pantry items.
“It’s uplifting,” said John DeCicco Sr. of the light-filled industrial space that has a cathedral feel thanks to its vaulted ceilings and numerous windows. “The store is so grand, once you’re in here, you won’t want to leave.”
