Reply to comment by VisualParrot in Was there a declared parking ban last night? by NovelNo87
The city has been communicating parking bans only online for *decades*. My mother's car got towed in 2000 for parking overnight on Dean St. No notices, no tickets, nothing. We later discovered the winter parking ban was in effect. But how would someone know who hasn't had to deal with it before?

Every Market Basket I've ever been to has had the majority of check out lanes open all day. When it's super busy they go all hands on deck and every lane is open. They're staffed with a teller and a bagger. I don't think they have any locations with self checkout.

Ashland and Bellingham have narrow aisles. Hudson and Oxford which are newer are much wider. I think this will have wide aisles.

When I've done come comparison shopping between price chopper and market basket, typically I'll save about $20-30 on the basics (without coupons or specials)

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like a good store, but I'm still surprised by the hype. It's just a grocery store.
If there were one in Worcester, I'd like to try it out. No way I'm driving to Shrewsbury for groceries, though. It baffles me that people would drive 20 minutes to a grocery store unless they have to, but to each their own.

Also their customer service is typically fantastic, they're great at ensuring checkout lines are open.

So market basket's entire thing is "more for your dollar." Item prices are set to the same at all of their stores so you know what you're getting from place to place. Their very good about being well stocked and having a mix of high quality and good value foods.
The main reason I can think of why they're in Shrewsbury and not Worcester is taxes and shrewsbury being a central location for Boroughs, Grafton, and Worcester. (So 200k in worcester but there's also about 200k in all of those other towns combined)
Many people in worcester are already driving 20 minutes North to Leominster or south to Oxford. So driving 10 minutes west is easy enough.
Edit: there are about 100k in those towns combined not 200k

Can somebody explain why people are so excited about this particular grocery store? What is so great about it?
And if it is so great, why donโt they have a location in Worcester? Do they not want the 200,000+ people who live here as customers?

Well nowadays you gotta kinda know if you assault a bunch of people with a weapon you going to jail. For how long depends on several factors though. I would say 40 days is reasonable with 2-4 years probation just to make them stay on a good path.
