According to Waterstone, owner and developer of The Ridge, and the city of Rochester, Market Basket and Hobby Lobby will open at their newest project in early 2016 along with Marshalls, Petco and many other destination shops, restaurants and services.
Market Basket, the regions top supermarket chain, is under construction on an 80,000 s/f grocery store offering customers a wide variety of products including specialty, organic, international and prepared foods as well as its wide selection of grocery items, all at a great value to its customers.
"The addition of another Market Basket location in Rochester will be a wonderful new amenity to our community," said Rochester Mayor T. J. Jean. "I look forward to the new offerings which will be available with Market Basket's newer stores."
Josh Levy, principal of Waterstone said, "Market Basket is an excellent company that provides outstanding value, selection and service to its customers. With such a premier addition to an already exciting line-up of retailers, The Ridge will provide one-stop shopping and dining at great value to both local and regional shoppers. We will continue to partner with City of Rochester representatives and the community, who have been very supportive, to match our line-up of stores and restaurants with the needs and wants of local residents and the surrounding areas."
A 55,000 s/f Hobby Lobby is also slated to open early 2016. The arts and crafts discount mega-store will feature more than 70,000 home décor, arts, hobbies, holiday and seasonal products.
