The Market Report

Big Boi Meat Market Opened: summer 2022 Owner:  Maycan Groner Alvarenga Previous Tenants:  Tedeschi Food Shops Cooperative:  none Location:  430 Waverly St, Framingham, MA Photographed:  August 27, 2025 We return to Framingham very briefly to see the city's Big Boi Meat Market, opened in the summer of 2022 in a former Tedeschi convenience store -- I'm not sure what was here before them -- joining locations in Worcester and Shrewsbury , among a few others. Today's other post is a look at a Market 32 a bit outside of Framingham, so check that out here , and tomorrow we're headed south over towards Milford!

India Mart Opened: 2018 Owner:  unknown Previous Tenants:  Tedeschi Food Shops Cooperative:  none Location:  85 Quincy Ave, Quincy, MA Photographed:  August 4, 2019 and May 6, 2023 Today's post is a quick look at the India Mart in Quincy, a small 5000 square foot Indian grocer right on Quincy Avenue, the main drag through Quincy Center. Previously, the store was a Tedeschi Food Shop , a Massachusetts chain of convenience stores that sold to 7-Eleven in 2015. Now, this location is a compact but complete Indian market. For tomorrow's post, we're headed a few blocks north to a small independent grocer that recently closed in downtown Quincy. Stay tuned!
