In the same strip mall as the
Star Market in Quincy Center is Mignosa's Fruit Basket, a small greengrocer and deli of about 6800 square feet.
The store dates back to 1903, but has been located here only since about the 1960s, as far as I can tell. It's not really a full grocery store, but there's several aisles of produce, prepared foods, baked goods, and bulk items. There's also a deli and a salad bar.
The interior pictures here are from both 2019 and 2023, but nothing really changed in the store during that time.
In the front, there's a large bulk department with candy and nuts in big bins.
Obviously, this store and Star Market can coexist -- they have for decades -- because Mignosa's is much more specialized and carries things Star Market doesn't necessarily, and vice versa.
Don't miss touring Star Market
here, and on Monday, we're off to a Stop & Shop just east. Have a great weekend!
