Once a small store called India Food & Gifts, the space at 264 Boston Turnpike became the latest location of Big Boi Meat Market. The 3,000 square foot store opened in 2021, between my first visit (above, March 2021) and my second visit (below, October 2021). We saw Big Boi's Worcester location at the end of this post, and they also now have a Framingham location about 16 miles east.

Inside, the store has a small produce and grocery selection with a large meat counter at the back of the store. It mostly represents Brazilian foods, serving Massachusetts' growing Brazilian population. Interestingly, this store is immediately next door to a former grocery store, which we'll be taking a look at tomorrow!
