About Sunnyside Superette 2.0: The Sunnyside Superette was an independent grocery and convenience store located in Morgantown’s Sunnyside neighborhood. The business began in the 1930s as the Sunnyside Fruit Market, which moved down the street to 2047 University Avenue in the 1940s and opened as the Superette Market Grocery. The business name changed to the Sunnyside Superette in the 1950s. The Sunnyside Superette was popular among local families who lived in Sunnyside in the mid-twentieth century and remained popular among Sunnyside’s student residents in the late twentieth century. In 2015, the Sunnyside Superette closed, its owner and patrons citing the new Sheetz located at University Place. The owners of the adjacent Sunny's Bar and Almost Heaven Bar and Grill will revitalize this historic establishment, scheduled to reopen in February 2025.The reopening comes at a crucial time for the neighborhood by filling the void and marking a full-circle moment for the historic Sunnyside corner.
