Just what we need, ANOTHER "big box" chain supermarket & MORE traffic! A town of less than 5k people definitely needs yet another chain store to cater to the non-stop stream of tourists who just CANT shop somewhere unless it's owned by a familiar massive corporate conglomerate right? We should just change the name of the town to "North Worcester" since that's what the area is rapidly looking like!
Oh my goodness - What a TERRIBLE and unfair location for a fabulous, very affordable grocery store ! Everyone will want to shop here but will never be able to because the parking lot will be FILLED with all the retail business that can't find a spot for the shops = Especially during Settlers "super deal' weekends like "Bring a friend shopping". Also, although everyone already knows about the slightly faster way around the mess of Route 16 this will grid lock both roads = PLEASE leave North-South road alone ! If they are afraid folks won't find the Market Basket if it's a bit "off the beaten path" - DON'T be ! The history of customer loyalty to this company is the stuff of legend and once folks here come to experience both the quality & prices offered they will be driving in from all over to shop there. Many thanks for bringing this great store to the Valley = PLEASE don't set it up to fail !
