Roche Bros. In Quincy Will Close After 26 Years In Business

QUINCY, MA — The Mansfield-based supermarket chain Roche Bros., is shutting down its Quincy location in April.

After 26 years in operation, the Falls Boulevard store will continue to operate through April 11, unless staffing and inventory affect the ability to run properly, the company said in a statement.

The decision to close the Quincy store was made "in the interest of the overall financial well-being of the company," said Tristen Kendall-Barros, vice president of marketing.

"Unfortunately, we have had to make the hard decision to close our Quincy location. We are grateful for the support and patronage of the Quincy community during our time there," Kendall-Barros added. "It is our sincere hope that we can continue to serve a portion of our Quincy shoppers through our rochebros.com shopping and delivery service from our other location."

With 164 employees, the company says they will be offered jobs at 16 other Roche Bros. locations of four Brothers Marketplace stores.

A few years ago Roche Bros. closed its Burlington location after a 16-year-run. As its lease began to end, a new Waltham location opened, prompting its 2017 closure.
