The Market Report

Stop & Shop Opened: 2008 Owner:  Ahold Delhaize Previous Tenants:  A&P (ca. late 1980s-2003) > Grand Union Family Markets (2003-2008) Cooperative:  none Location:  56 Shank Painter Rd, Provincetown, MA Photographed:  July 30, 2021 Contributor:  Lars D. You can tell from the outside right away that this is not your average Stop & Shop. The roughly 40,000 square foot store was actually built in the late 1980s as an A&P, later becoming a Grand Union Family Markets owned by C&S when A&P left the area in 2003. GUFM sold this and one other location to Stop & Shop in 2008. This is the only supermarket in Provincetown, and the next closest is an independent called Wellfleet Marketplace in Wellfleet, about 13 miles southeast. It's also the farthest-out supermarket on Cape Cod, as Provincetown is the last town on the cape.

Lees Market Opened: 1949 Owner:  Tracy Anthony Previous Tenants:  none Cooperative:  none Location:  796 Main Rd, Westport, MA Photographed:  October 12, 2024 Massachusetts' craggy coastline means that there are countless small towns and villages tucked away on the water. Here, we're in one of those little towns, Westport, roughly 10 miles from both New Bedford to the northeast and Fall River to the northwest. It's about 30 miles west of Sandwich, the rough beginning of Cape Cod, and about 50 miles northeast of the eastern end of Long Island. It's home to only one supermarket, and that happens to be a wonderful independent supermarket called Lees Market. Lees is owned by the same people as Clements' Marketplace in Portsmouth, RI, which is about ten miles west. It dates back to the late 1940s, when it was a much smaller general store, eventually growing over the course of many years and many expansions to its current 51,000 square feet. We enter to the grand ai...
