“There’s a supermarket here in New England called Shaws that is slowly going out of business because of union overhead. They have these big, beautiful stores, and they are all empty cause their prices are crazy.”

What’s taking their place.

Walmart has moved into New England in a big way within the past 15 years, and most of the stores have a “food section”. Then again, there are the “Super Walmarts” with their own attached supermarket. Well-stocked and low prices.

Also, a Massachusetts company, “Big Y” seems to have moved into the market in southern New England. Very nice, but higher prices.
