Shaw's Opened: ca. late 1990s Owner: Albertsons Companies Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: none Location: 586 Nashua St, Milford, NH Photographed: November 21, 2023 Having seen Merrimack to the north of Nashua, now we're headed slightly west to Milford to take a quick look at a Shaw's. It looks to be on the larger side -- around 75,000 square feet -- and had its original 1990s signage until a ca. 2023 or so remodel. Now, it looks like a pretty straightforward Shaw's both inside and out. In addition to a Market Basket across town, Milford was previously home to one of the short-lived Super Stop & Shop outposts in New Hampshire. We've seen Exeter and Bedford , which became Hannafords, but this one is now an Ocean State Job Lot , which only fills part of the former supermarket. At 70,000 square feet, this Milford Stop & Shop is actually slightly smaller than the Shaw's. Tomorrow, we're rounding out the week with The Market Report's first...

This one is also a bit of a relic, but it looks far better today and also seems to be higher volume. Shaw's constructed this store between 2005 and 2008, or about seven years after the 570 Daniel Webster Highway one. (There are multiple other Shaw's on Daniel Webster Highway in other towns.) At about 55,000 square feet, this one is smaller than the Daniel Webster one. This pairing is intriguing to me, too, as this store has a lot in common with the Indian Lake Shaw's in Worcester, while the other store in town feels like the Webster Square Shaw's . (Both Worcester stores are more updated and higher volume, though, it seems.) You can see the parallels of the ol...
