Meanwhile, over in New London County your options are Stop & Shop, Stop & Shop, Stop & Shop…and a Shoprite that hasn’t been updated since 1983.

Looks like Old Saybrook is getting a Whole Foods at the former Bennys Shopping Plaza. Right across Rt 1 from the Big Y shopping center. I think it’s going through permitting now

I was confused because when you said "Bennys" I could only think of the farm market in Essex. pours one out for the best grinders ever

Right. Fiddleheads aka Stop & Shop with higher prices and fewer items.

Ah couldn't be more different from Stop&Shop's profit motivation. But I guess you shop somewhere magical and virtuous.

As someone who is looking tk move from the west hartford area down towards new london i am so disappointed in how underdeveloped the bottom right corner of our state is. Youd think with all the rich towns in the area and vacation/ public beaches and industry that the region would be pretty well developed.

It’s all old rich white Nimby’s. Everyone wants one as long as it’s not their town.

Stay in Hartford then.

We live in the nice rural part of the state because we want to live in the nice rural part of the state.

Nobody likes the carpetbaggers that move to town and complain that things need to be more developed.

Fcking go away.

That's that east of the river attitude we know and love! God I fucking hate it down there- nothing to eat, bleak development, and new England's crankiest yankees.

Tolland County (specifically Vernon/Ellington) you have a Big Y, 2 Stop & Shops, Shop Rite, and Aldi. Slide over to Coventry and you get Highland Park Market as well, go to E Windsor S Windsor or Somers and you can tack on Geissler's.
