Pemberton Market is merging into Pemberton Farms

[ron_newman]

Pemberton Market, the liquor and convenience store at 2245 Mass. Ave., will close on May 31 and will merge into Pemberton Farms, the grocery and garden center next door at 2225 Mass. Ave.

Nobody at either store yet knows exactly how this is going to work, or whether Pemberton Farms will have longer hours after the merger. Currently Pemberton Farms closes at 9 pm Monday-Friday and 8 pm Saturday and Sunday, while Pemberton Market stays open until 11 pm.

Old-timers will remember that 2245 Mass. Ave. used to house the 24-hour "Bread & Butter Konvenience [sic]" store, and before that, a 24-hour White Hen Pantry. I'd love to see another 24-hour convenience store move in.

Kate Mattes of Kate's Mystery Books had blocked the sale of liquor at Pemberton Farms, but she has moved out and sold her house to someone else who doesn't object to the liquor license.

Bonny's on Bay State Road (near the Fresh Pond rotaries) has some wonderful things.

Thanks! I had no idea there was a garden store back there, and I've passed by plenty of times.
