Boubeau's Market has been here in Leominster for decades, and keeps going strong! It's a small independent grocer and liquor store of just 3000 square feet, and we begin our tour by looking at some historical photos they've posted in the front window. We see the store was previously an IGA -- and I don't know if it's always been in this location; this building dates back to about the 1960s, but it looks like these pictures are of an older, street-front location. And in that picture on the left, is that the old market being demolished?

Here's how the store is set up these days:

Inside, it feels like a convenience store but has a couple aisles of groceries and a deli and butcher counter in the back.

Tomorrow it's time to see another Market Basket. It's just a quarter mile from here, so come back tomorrow to check it out!
