"Another Joshua Tree location in Somerville's Davis Square will remain open, according to Arcari. Some of the 50 employees from the Allston location now work at the Somerville spot, others were laid off."

McKinnon's already has a small but quite decent produce section with prices the same or lower than Shaws/Star.

I think that the main disadvantage to McKinnon's, other than the objectionable-to-some historic butcher shop smell, is that it isn't open much past 5pm.

Smells better than it used to since they renovated and took up the blood soaked carpet (seriously, carpet). Or maybe I have become acclimated (shudder). The deli guys there are nice.

5 or 5:30pm used to be a thing, but they have been open until 7pm Mon-Sat for a while now. 5pm on Sundays.
