Howe's Station Market Opened: 2005 under current ownership; ca. 1940s previously Owner: Vipak Karia Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: none Location: 229 Maple St, Middleton, MA Photographed: August 22, 2025 Our final stop in the Greater Salem area is about six miles west of yesterday's stop in Hamilton . This market is just 2000 square feet, but it's been continuously open since at least 1952, and I would bet even well before that. Today, Howe's Station Market is more of a corner store than a full grocer, but it's still impressive to see it in business for that long. The small town of Middleton has a Market Basket in the southern end, and there's a Stop & Shop to the east in Danvers. Here's this month's 10th year special feature, and what's coming up next !
