Opened: ca. 1960s

Today's post is a very quick look at the Market Basket in Billerica, MA! There used to be two, but the one a mile and a half north closed to make way for an Amazon Fresh coming at the other end of the mall -- an Amazon Fresh that, of course, never opened. There's also a Market Basket in North Billerica.
This store's fresh and modern facade hides the fact that it's a rather old store, dating back to approximately the 1960s. (I couldn't find an exact opening year for this store.) Here's a look at the outside before, and as you can see it had the same rough exterior as Chelmsford. In fact, this store looks a lot like Chelmsford if a bit more dated.
Although it's on the older side, it's still 60,000 square feet. I don't know if this was the original Market Basket in this strip mall, or if there was previously another older store on the site.

Tomorrow's stop is a return to a store about ten miles west of here. Come back to check it out!
Acme is closing its location in Wantage, NJ in February, leaving Vernon as its only location in Sussex County, making Vernon very different compared to the rest of the county when they at least have a ShopRite.
