A trio of local grocery stores that focus on healthy options will soon be down to just two.
Universal Hub is reporting (via a tweet from @GospelOfIHM) that bfresh in Brighton is closing its doors. while WCVB 5 states that the Washington Street store plans to shut down on November 25. WCVB mentions that Stop & Shop is looking to integrate the bfresh markets into their brand, and that a planned Newton outlet will become a new small format store--though it appears that no name has been given for that shop as of yet. (Both Stop & Shop and bfresh are part of the Ahold Delhaize food retailer, which is based in the Netherlands.) The bfresh stores in Allston and Somerville will remain in operation.
bfresh first opened in Brighton in August of 2016.
The address for this soon-to-close market in Brighton is: bfresh, 470 Washington Street, Brighton, MA, 02135. The website for bfresh can be found at http://bfresh.com/
[November 26 update: According to a post in Supermarket News, bfresh in Brighton is now closed.]
[January 8, 2018 update: A notice from E.F. Smith indicates that the now-closed bfresh in Brighton has an auction today, with other locations in Middleboro and Fairfield, CT, having auctions tomorrow and Friday, respectively. (Note: All three auctions will be online only.)]
