Concord Market Group (Trail's End Cafe, Lincoln Kitchen) Opening Concord Market

by Marc Hurwitz

The group behind two cafes and a restaurant in the western suburbs of Boston will be opening a market next to one of its cafes.

According to a job post within the bostonchefs.com site, Concord Market Group is opening a retail market just north of Concord Center called Concord Market, with the shop including "high-quality" produce, meats, seafood, and more, as well as prepared foods. An earlier article from the Concord Journal had mentioned that the grocery store will be at the same spot on Lowell Road as Trail's End Cafe (which the group also runs), along with a second Trail's Cafe in the Lincoln Station/Depot area and a restaurant called Lincoln Kitchen, which is also at Lincoln Station.

Based on the Journal article, it appears that Concord Market could open sometime in 2018, but no opening date has been given as of yet.

[July 12, 2018 update: A new post within the jobs section of bostonchefs.com indicates that Concord Market is getting ready for its grand opening and that it is looking for an executive sous chef. the post also mentions that the place will be a "high-end market" that includes a "high-end deli counter, artisanal retail products, craft beer, wine, prepared foods to go, full service meat and fish counters, house made sausages, pates, and smoked meats."]

[September 27, 2018 update: An email sent to us indicates that Concord Market is now open, with a Facebook post from the place confirming this.]
