The Market Report

Whole Foods Market Opened:  December 2024 Owner: Amazon Previous Tenants:  Toys R Us > Amazon Fresh (planned, never opened) Cooperative: none Location: 272 Daniel Webster Hwy, Nashua, NH Photographed:  July 2, 2026 Recognize the outside of this store? This has the classic facade installed in all Amazon Fresh stores , and that's because this former Toys R Us was slated to be the only Amazon Fresh in New Hampshire. The store measures around 44,000 square feet, so while it's smaller than a lot of supermarkets, it's actually about 1.5 times the size of the other Whole Foods here in Nashua. While this store is laid out exactly like an Amazon Fresh (and that means likely that the Amazon Fresh was fully built out but simply never opened, like so many locations), the decor is drastically different from Amazon Fresh's appearance. Frankly, it's quite beautiful in person. With the classic Fresh layout, you enter to produce in the front-right corner. Meat and seafood are...

Whole Foods Market Opened: 2014 Owner: Amazon Previous Tenants:  Market Basket (1990-2013) Cooperative: none Location: 255 Amherst St, Nashua, NH Photographed: October 10, 2021 Nashua's proximity to Boston and large commuter population makes it a great place for businesses to enter the state for the first time. This was Whole Foods' first New Hampshire store, opening in a former Market Basket in 2014 . Market Basket almost never closes stores, and the only reason they did here was because they were able to replace this location with a massive new one just up the street , and at 85,000 square feet, that store dwarfs this 30,000 square foot one. Produce is on the right side, with bakery in the back-right corner. Meat and seafood counters line the back wall with dairy in the back-left corner, frozen on the left side, and deli/prepared foods on the left side of the store. There's a bar and seating area in the front-left corner, with beer on tap and some food to-order, some...

Monadnock Food Co-op Opened: 2013 Owner: cooperatively owned Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: National Co-op Grocers Location: 34 Cypress St, Keene, NH Photographed: August 13, 2021 This is not our first food co-op in New Hampshire, but like the Concord co-op, it's a beautiful store with an exciting mix of local and natural products. This store was built in 2013, and it's a new-build -- you can tell that the building, inside and out, still feels pretty new. The cooperative food scene is alive and well in New England, and this 20,000 square foot supermarket is as good an indication as any. You enter to produce on the left side, with dairy in the rest of the first aisle. Meat and seafood counters are on the back wall, along with packaged meats, while frozen foods are in the middle of the store. A large deli, prepared foods, and bakery area is on the right side of the store, along with a substantial cafe seating area. Since so many co-ops are set up this way, it feels in...
