Mainers will soon see more for their dollar when the state’s third Market Basket location opens in Topsham next week.
The new 80,000 square-foot store is slated to open on June 14 at 169 Topsham Fair Mall Road. Joining Market Basket’s other Maine locations in Biddeford and Westbrook, the new store will feature a butcher’s market, “Market’s Kitchen,” a cafe area with seating, and more than 50,000 grocery items, the supermarket chain said in a news release.
The Topsham store is Market Basket’s 90th active location, according to the release. The cult-favorite chain got its start in Lowell in 1917.
