I've only been to the Oxford one a few times to get a few things (not a full shopping) and it didn't bother me.

I go to the Leominster one at the mall and it's nuts always. I try to go around 6:45am to get in and get out. That's the only time it's not busy.

I recently went to the one in Littleton and the store layout is the reverse from what I am used to and it was so unbelievably terrible.

I got so excited the other day thinking it was open. I was at Trader Joes in Shrewsbury and typed in "market basket" to see where the closest one was to me. The Shrewsbury one popped up, but going back to google there were pictures posted 3ish weeks ago of all the fixturing in, but nothing stocked yet. I am glad I came across this thread because I was wondering as well.

I live in Holden (but on the Princeton side) and go to the Leominster Market Basket weekly. There are a handful of products that I love from Traer Joes, but I only make it there once a month or so. I am so glad I will be able to hit up TJ and MB in the same town soon!

Decreased quality product and severe reduction in sales/promotions are the biggest complaints I hear. They lost a lot of goodwill during the Wednesday debacle a few months back. I also hear bitterness from the staff about the rewards, but they ofc can't use them. There's a lot more competition these days, so I get why their promotions aren't as good as before.

The food is ok, but some items are overpriced. Sandwiches taste fine. the actual "jewish deli" items are very expensive. $17 for a reuben? seriously?

Their kugel is good. latkes, and knish's are ok, but not amazing.

The atmosphere is not at all like a jewish deli (if that's important to you). It feels like some kind of boutique / day spa. Wierd zen music playing, and a huge flat screen TV with nature scenes playing on a loop. What the hippy hell were they thinking?

As a frequenter of both, my go to for Walmart is always the Whitinsville Supercenter, honorable mention to Leicester. For Target, Westborough with honorable mention to Millbury.
