Now all we really need is a Big Y. (I'm biased, but I think they're a decent chain)

I used to go to Big Y when I lived in CT during college. Are they even up in Mass?

Yes! They are mainly in Western MA though I think I've seen a few around Central when driving around now! I grew up with one in my home town (Westfield) they had the coolest shopper loyalty programs, like the coins :)

There was one in Worcester when I went t school there, 13+ years ago.

I had thought they'd gotten that far out. Though they are definitely more centralized in Westfield, Chicopee, etc.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be so happy to have a supermarket walking-distance from me again. And extra yay for being able to avoid Shaws!

that location is definitely more convenient than swimming upstream to get parking at the Shaw's in Porter Sq.

This!! I have gone to Stop and Shop in place of Foodmaster a few times now and they've been great. Way better than Shaw's, and I like their store-brand stuff.

Woohoo!!!

Great news! I love Stop & Shop!

[personal profile] ron_newman 2013-02-09 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Having more supermarket choices is a good thing. However, strikebreaking and unionbusting are not such good things. I hope Stop & Shop can reach an amicable agreement with the union before the new store opens:

Stop & Shop Prepares for Potential Labor Strike, Hires Replacement Workers

Done. Thanks Ron. I always forget to do that.
