Although Nashua is in New Hampshire, it's very close to Massachusetts, so we're under 15 miles from Market Basket's hometown of Lowell. Market Basket has been here a long time, so there are some older stores in this area. But one of those older stores closed in 2013 to be replaced by this sprawling 85,000 square foot store, taking up a former Sears Essentials. The previous location became a Whole Foods; this now is the largest supermarket in Nashua, I believe.

This is a standard modern Market Basket layout. Dairy is in aisle 1 on the left side, with deli and seafood at the back of the first aisle. Meat lines the rest of the back wall, and frozen/produce are on the right side. This store has the full Market's Kitchen and Market's Cafe departments in the front-right corner, along with bakery. Beer and wine are also on the right side.

I do try to keep shoppers out of my photos, but you can see in these pictures that this is a busy store and resistance is futile. I would have to imagine this is the highest-volume supermarket in Nashua.
