Kam Man Market to Open at South Bay in Boston

An Asian supermarket with one location in the Boston area is getting ready to open its second, and this one will be within a couple of minutes of downtown Boston.

According to posters on the Chowhound site, Kam Man will be opening at the South bay shopping center on the Dorchester/Roxbury line, which is just off the Southeast Expressway between the Mass. Ave. and Columbia Road exits. The latest post on Chowhound indicates that the New York-based Asian market is planning to open on Thursday, February 9, making it the second Kam Man in the Greater Boston area, with the other one being on Quincy Avenue in Quincy.

[February 8 update: According to The Boston Globe, The new Kam Man at South Bay is now planning to open this Saturday (February 11).]

The space that Kam Man is moving into used to be where a location of the Super 88 market resided. The new market at South Bay will feature similar products to the now-closed Super 88, with an array of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese items. Based on the Quincy location of Kam Man, the South Bay shop may include hot prepared meals along with its grocery items.

The address for this upcoming market at South Bay will be: Kam Man, 101 Allstate Road, Dorchester, MA, 02125.
