Market Basket Opened: ca. 1990 Owner: Demoulas family Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: none Location: 34 Northwest Blvd, Nashua, NH Photographed: July 2, 2026 Time to tour a Nashua Market Basket! The city has three, plus a handful in the various suburbs, and we'll be taking a look at a few over the next couple weeks. This store is in the far northwestern corner of Nashua, where the city intersects with Hollis, Merrimack , and Milford . It was built in the 90s, possibly replacing an older store in this mall or elsewhere, and measures around 70,000 square feet.

It looks to be on the larger side -- around 75,000 square feet -- and had its original 1990s signage until a ca. 2023 or so remodel. Now, it looks like a pretty straightforward Shaw's both inside and out. In addition to a Market Basket across town, Milford was previously home to one of the short-lived Super Stop & Shop outposts in New Hampshire. We've seen Exeter and Bedford , which became Hannafords, but this one is now an Ocean State Job Lot , which only fills part of the former supermarket. At 70,000 square feet, this Milford Stop & Shop is actually slightly smaller than the Shaw's. Tomorrow, we're rounding out the week with The Market Report's first...
