We saw some of the small former grocers in Leicester and Cherry Valley, and we'll see a similar post here in Auburn. There are two freestanding former grocers I'd like to take some time to check out, though, and today's is a small (only about 2,000 square foot) store at the corner of Pinehurst Ave and Oxford St N right near the Worcester border. It's a daycare center now, but the grocery store look is very distinctive, right down to the doors on the side and the railing next to them! It opened between 1955 and 1961 as Breault's Market, which closed in the early 1960s and the space became Montouris Market by 1964 through the mid-1980s. I don't believe it was a grocery store after that, although I'm not sure what it was between 1989 and 2007, when it definitely was the daycare center. Tomorrow we have another former grocer right near the Worcester city line!
