Stop & Shop - Beverly, MA (Enon St)

By Zachary
Stop & Shop Opened: 1989 Owner:  Ahold Delhaize Previous Tenants:  none Cooperative:  none Location:  37 Enon St, Beverly, MA Photographed:  May 14, 2022 Take a good look at this Stop & Shop's exterior. Well, this is an easy store to tell the history of -- a mid-00s build Super Stop & Shop, much like this one , right? Wrong. Would you believe this store actually opened in 1989? Granted, it's been extensively renovated, and probably most recently was redone around the mid-00s when the neighboring Star Market moved into a former Ames . That also explains why it's a bit smaller than the type of store Stop & Shop was typically building around the mid-00s. It's around 57,000 square feet -- plenty large, but much smaller than the 76,000 square foot South Bay one I linked above. Some digging on Newspapers.com brought me to the following article... The Daily Item, March 1, 1989 Quite a few interesting observations here, including the incredible picture...

Shaw's - Beverly, MA

By Zachary
Shaw's Opened: early 00s Owner:  Albertsons Companies Previous Tenants:  Zayre > Ames Cooperative:  none Location:  71 Dodge St, Beverly, MA Photographed:  May 14, 2022 These days, Star Market is mostly in Boston and its immediate suburbs . But the chain once stretched much farther out from the city, including up here to Beverly about 20 miles north of Boston. Star Market constructed an approximately 53,000 square foot supermarket here at the North Beverly Plaza in the early 1960s. It anchored the mall along with a Zayre department store, later Ames. Shaw's and Star Market were merged into the same company in 1999, and shortly thereafter Ames closed. Shaw's constructed a new, approximately 70,000 square foot supermarket in the former Ames, and it opened in the early 00s replacing the Star Market. Unlike the Boston-area locations, this store never returned to Star Market branding and has remained Shaw's. You enter on the left side of the store to floral and...

Henry's Market - Beverly, MA

By Zachary
Henry's Market Opened: 2015 under current ownership; 1941 previously Owner:  Jim Crosby / Crosby's Marketplace Previous Tenants:  none Cooperative:  Associated Grocers of New England Location:  588 Cabot St, Beverly, MA Photographed:  May 14, 2022 In business since 1941, Henry's Market of Beverly, MA is definitely one of the longest-standing grocers in this area -- though not the oldest operating one . Expanded many times to its present 18,000 square feet, the supemarket was taken over in 2015 by the owners of Crosby's Marketplace . Crosby's has mostly left the store as-is, but has brought some of the higher-end prepared foods and other more gourmet offerings into their other locations. The building is laid out a bit strangely because of the many expansions, but it's an attractive and well-run supermarket. The first department we encounter is the produce department, in the front section with some very nice skylights bringing natural light into the rustic-style...
