Happy summer break! I'm going to try to catch up on news posts I still need to do during this break, so stay tuned. We return to the Shrewsbury Patel Brothers for a quick update! The store has undergone an expansion and a small renovation, bringing it from around 14,000 square feet to a bit over 20,000. That's in advance of the massive former Stop & Shop across the street becoming a super-sized Apna Bazar, which I'm sure is on Patel Brothers' mind.

One other minor change: they've dropped the "Farmers Market" from the name here, and that appears to be because Patel Brothers uses the Farmers Market brand for smaller locations. And now that this one is larger (though still not very big), it no longer qualifies as a Farmers Market.

The layout inside is slightly different. You now enter on the left side of the store to the produce department, which is in the first few aisles as you can see here. Dairy is on the back wall and frozen is in an aisle on the right side of the original supermarket. That's generally not changed from the setup prior to the renovation, except for expanding produce a bit. But now there's another few aisles on the right side, and a Patel's Fresh Kitchen department on the far-right side of the store. The front-end has also been expanded into the new portion, and the exit is over on that side.

There's still no decor here, making the inside pretty boring if clean and orderly. That's typical for Patel Brothers stores, although newer ones do have some minimalistic signage inside.
