When is Market Basket Opening in Bedford?

If all goes as planned, the Bedford Market Basket will open its doors to the public in early May.

David McLean, operations manager at Demoulas Supermarkets, Inc. confirmed to Bedford Patch that the store and most of its staff are ready to begin operations.

The lone holdup, he said, is roadwork in the area of Route 114, New Boston Road and Donald Street.

"As quick as that finishes, we are anticipating to open," said McLean. "In terms of the store, everything is ready. Everyone's eager to go."

Though an official date has yet to be set, McLean said he's confident in "the early May time frame."

"It was a tough winter," he said. "If this past winter was more like last the year before – in terms of weather and snow accumulations – we'd probably already be open by now."

Once open, the Bedford Market Basket will offer similar amenities to the new Manchester location including expanded organics and gluten-free sections, a gourmet meat case, a cafe, deli and more.
