Oneida Indian Nation announces the grand opening of its third Maple Leaf Market Store

Oneida Indian Nation Homelands (May 17, 2018) – Just in time for beach and boating season, May 18 will mark the Grand Opening of the Oneida Indian Nation’s third Maple Leaf Market store. Located on Route 13 in Sylvan Beach, the location was previously a SāvOn store and was transformed to reopen as Maple Leaf Market in less than three months. The Nation’s first Maple Leaf Market opened in Sherrill in November, followed by the Chittenango store in February, making this newest location the third Maple Leaf Market to open in six months. The Nation plans to continue expanding its new brand of convenience stores with its fourth Maple Leaf Market location scheduled to open Spring 2019 on Route 31 in Bridgeport, neighboring Point Place Casino.

“The response to our first two Maple Leaf Market stores has been incredible, and we are excited to bring the same fresh, made-to-order food offering to Sylvan Beach and the surrounding area,” said Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation Representative and Turning Stone Enterprises CEO.
