A new community market has opened its doors on Franklin Street near the Melrose Highlands commuter rail station.

Franklin Market, which was formally Lyman’s Market, has a new look and a welcoming feel. The store will be serving freshly brewed Green Mountain coffee, slush, and both fresh and packaged foods.

The market’s opening is part of the city’s revitalization project of the Franklin Street area. Store manager Jitendra Patel is excited to engage with local neighborhood residents.

“We are looking forward to being a vital part of the Melrose Highlands community,” Mr. Patel told Mayor Robert Dolan. “I hope our neighbors stop by often to pick up a cup of coffee, a snack, or some last-minute groceries. We will be offering some specials over the next few weeks, so come in and say hi!”
