Crown Meat Market Opened: 2021 previously; 2025 in current location Owner: Graciene Macedo Previous Tenants: Crown Bakery Cooperative: none Location: 133 Gold Star Blvd, Indian Lake, Worcester, MA Photographed: August 21, 2025 We're returning to Worcester for today's first post, and because I recently made a trip back to Massachusetts that's where our focus will be today.

Crown Meat Market Opened: 2021 Owner:  Graciene Macedo Previous Tenants:  Crown Bakery Cooperative:  none Location:  133 Gold Star Blvd, Indian Lake, Worcester, MA Photographed: May 7, 2021 For years, this building near the southern tip of Indian Lake in Worcester was the Crown Bakery.

Here's a cool view from above. Up next, we're headed to Greendale just to the north to see a few former supermarkets and then the two big stores at the northern Worcester border!
