Market Basket Coming To Warwick In 2021

WARIWCK, RI — A Market Basket grocery store is coming to Warwick next year, Mayor Joseph Solomon announced Wednesday. Construction is set to start immediately, and the store is expected to be open by mid-2021.

"I am thrilled to welcome Market Basket to Warwick," Solomon said. "Our city’s central location in the state, combined with our growing business climate, continue to make Warwick a natural choice for multiple companies looking to expand their reach in the Ocean State."

The store will be located in the 89,000 square foot space formerly occupied by Sam's Club and At Home, off Route 2.

"We know there are many very good local, regional, and national food retailers in Rhode Island, and we are just pleased to have the opportunity to offer Warwick and the surrounding communities another option," said Arthur Demoulas, the President Demoulas Super Markets, Inc. "We are also happy that we will soon be able to provide a more convenient option to the many Rhode Island residents who have been driving a longer distance to our stores in neighboring Massachusetts for their Market Basket shopping experience."

The popular New England supermarket chain currently operates 81 stores around the region. Earlier this year, the company announced plans to open a store in Johnston, also expected to open next year.
