Fox Point Grocers
Opened: 2023
We're here on the east side of Providence for just two stores in the Fox Point neighborhood. This is a pleasant, upscale residential neighborhood just across the Providence River from downtown and a few blocks southeast of Brown University. Fox Point now has a Trader Joe's, but they also have this tiny specialty gourmet market called Fox Point Grocers (previously Hawes Fine Foods).
Curation is the name of the game at Fox Point Grocers, as the 500-square-foot store doesn't have enough space for anything but a very carefully selected range of specialty products. The vast majority, of course, are gourmet and/or imported products you won't find at Trader Joe's or Shaw's. And let me put it this way: you're probably not coming to Fox Point Grocers with a budget. Obviously, though, that's the point. The very specific products are specialized enough that people who are looking for that particular item are willing to pay a lot more for it.

There's a small selection of produce and refrigerated items on one side of the store, but most of the shelves have boxed or jarred items. There's another small grocer in this part of the city -- a small butcher shop, which you can take a look at in today's other post here. And tomorrow we're seeing two posts down near the southern coast on Rhode Island!
