Market Basket Sets Firm Opening Date in Bedford

Bedford Patch has been inundated with inquiries as to when Bedford's newest grocery store will open its doors.

Last week, we published an update, informing you, the Bedford public, that Market Basket will open in early May, once area roadwork is complete.

Wednesday, we were contacted by David McLean, operations manager at Demoulas Supermarkets, Inc., and informed that the 78,500 sq. ft. mega store – located at 539 Donald Street (off Route 114) – will celebrate its grand opening one week from today, on Thursday, May 9.

McLean said the store and staff are ready to go and excited to offer Bedford value-priced shopping with more perks and amenities than a typical grocery store.

Like the new Manchester location, Bedford's branch offers expanded organics and gluten-free sections, a gourmet meat case, a cafe, deli and much more.

Check back with Bedford Patch this weekend as we'll provide an exclusive inside look inside the new store.
