Big Y World Class Market Owner: D'Amour family Opened: 1970 Previous Tenants: none Location: 433 Center St, Ludlow, MA Photographed: November 20, 2023 One final stop outside of Springfield -- the roughly 57,000 square foot Big Y of Ludlow! The store in this location dates back to 1970 although it's possible this building was actually constructed after that. I suspect the store moved from a space that's now divided between a Joann Fabrics and a Rocky's Hardware (look at an aerial photo and you'll see exactly what I mean). That store is about half the size of the present-day Big Y, which feels more like what a chain would've been building back in 1970. Don't worry, even though we haven't toured this one, we'll be touring a few more Big Y locations shortly!
